I live in Nova Scotia, Canada and I put all my controller boxes out on December 1st and with a little luck bring them in around mid January. There have been times I had to leave everything out until March, depends on the snow and ice. Never an issue, just make sure to cap any unused pigtails and...

Welcome from a fellow Canuck! Everyone here is awesome and very helpful, any questions just ask away.

Hey Welcome to the madness fellow Canuck!

That's gonna cost ya a beer if i ever make it "down under" LOL Ya got my vote! Good luck!

I know in Nova Scotia it can be hit or miss for snow over Christmas, but over the last couple years it has been white so if I were a betting man I would say odds are in your favour. Wish I knew a few displays close, but Henri (forum name is Barbotte) is the only one that comes to mind and he is...

Going to miss your display this year Logan....You have a great gift for sequencing.

I am loving my ESPIXELSTICKs... I also have E131 bridge/pixel extenders, E682, REN32, LOR16, REN24DC, 24 channel DMX.... The pixelsticks are very cheap and give up to 4 universes. A falcon would be nice for a centralized prop like a megatree but the sticks work great for a prop like 3 singing...

What are you using for material? PETG? ASA? ABS with lacquer?

I have one running 3 singing bulbs (143 pixels x 3 = 429 pixels) on an el cheapo Dlink wifi router and runs flawless. The AP is only 40 feet away and clear line of sight through window. The thing to keep in mind is that I live in an area where there is no wifi congestion so YMMV. And yes, the V2...

I just bought one of these: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Color-sent-randomly-USB-Sound-Card-USB-Audio-7-1-External-USB-Sound-Card-Audio-Adapter/32602874245.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.A0Ess5 When you get one, don't forget to change audio output adapter to USB audio device in FPP settings.

I had issues with sound quality on my pi last year running 1.6 and it was intermittent. This year I bought one of the cheap USB sound cards and plugged into pi. WOW, what an improvement! Cost was 3$ from china and to tell the truth I never thought it would make a difference but it is very...
