They arrived today. 130mm between pixels but it looks like a 4 year old made them. 😂. Excess material all over the place and they are short so might be a pain on the bum to push into this Coro. Do they work, yes. Are they great definitely no. Were they cheap, yes. 😂. Glad I didn’t order...

Ordered 31st Aug and they just cleared customs in Brisbane. 500 for $99 + got a discount for buying two lots and free postage. My inner Scotsman was overjoyed. https://amzn.asia/d/0foWx0Hd I’m sure they will work ok but long term not sure, but at least I can get what I want done this year.

Bit skint this Christmas prop making season so I've just ordered some amazon special pixels (1000 for $175), can't be any worse than 2022 right? xD . I've rebuilt an old Surfing Santa rope prop using seed pixels for $80, and using a Hanson piHat for control via Xlights. I'm doing a nightclass...

I bought the Ryobi soldering iron, I've got loads of batteries and the batteries last a session for me. It works, it's portable. I had one fail a year after use, took it back and Bunnings replaced it no questions.

Yeah it's new in FFP10 I think. PipeWire + GStreamer, which brings multi-zone audio, AES67, and Opus RTP. Not sure how it's practical in our shows without buying more hardware. I run older RPi3bs, but keen to learn more as I'm over pulling 3.5mm cable across my yard and I've broken the cable...

Really enjoyed it too and I learnt a lot from the presentations about new features, new programs and how others build their displays. I didn't think I would learn so much being 5 years into this hobby! xD Left with more projects, some goodies and lots of ideas which is always a bonus! :cool:

Thanks for organising us all @Mark_M and for the amazing sequence @Danielr Here's my submission I'm getting better at recording these! :cool:

I've had a few issues in the past and I think when you upload a new config it doesn't wipe everything and start again. It seems to overwrite but no erase unused ports/channel data. Also the voltage has been reported incorrectly on one side, I just ignore it.

I've been soldering for years and still have issues with it now and again. I just started using solder tubes, it's a game changer. Quick and easy, less equipment, less swearing. So much easier, especially for fiddly little wires like on the seed pixels. I just used the red ones to connect...

Thanks everyone, I've contacted the cancer council and applied for my license (probably should have done that years ago xD) Thanks mate, yeah I was thinking QR codes are hit and miss. I'm finding people scan them and then get distracted. I'll have to think of innovative ways to get people...
