Keen as mustard! Happy to do some type of presentation. No idea what just yet. Maybe matrix construction and demo

I filled up a garage door using a 65x176 matrix. Was quite good images quality when viewed at a reasonable distance. I’d say video looks good from about 5m or above, below that and it’s hard to make out. View: https://youtu.be/6KCd5yToXbw?si=4lrCnW2JdJt9e2WQ

I drilled a hole on the outside and in the garage and put in RJ45 gland. Does the trick nicely To get access to install, I pulled up a few tiles so I could get my hands in. Could do the same if you have colorbond

Gotta do a test piece to measure how far to drill ensure you dont widen out the 12mm front side. Ask me how i know......

I’ve drilled a lot of holes in conduit. I think I’m at just 3400pixels at 1inch spacing. My process - layout a bunch of pipe on the ground, I normally do 6-8 lengths of conduit. (Needs to be an even number) - block of wood at each as well as at regular internals along the length to stop it...

thanks for remembering! I was/am I sent @Phillhutcho a DM yesterday after seeing the post, just waiting to hear back :)

I have everything in the attic/roof space. In Perth, Australia its hot as buggery with temps in the roof reaching up to 70c in when we have 40+ days. No issues at all

I created a garage matrix out of seeds (560x22) using garden trellis from Bunnings. I used just over 3000 cable ties and they kept the seeds facing the front quite nicely. Would work fine on your driveway, plus it rolls up nice and small. I will eventually update my journey thread when I get...

Use 50cm pigtails for controller boxes, having a little extra length really comes in handy. If you’re making up custom length pixels, you can use the 20cm pigtails to save a little $$, but you will still likely need extension cables from your prop to the controller in any case. I seem to use a...

What are you using for cameras to give this data. I’m getting close to needing to upgrade my old hikvision system with something a little newer

Like @B4IGO ive set it up and been quite useful in testing my display without carrying a small FM radio around. As for publicly advertising it, I’m not sure it would be better that what I have now. Most people for my display come on foot and listen to the speakers I have, or via car and either...

Fantastic! Everyone's displays are looking fantastic! Top effort Danielr and Mark_M for all the hard work getting it together!

This may sound stupid, but i never even thought about putting a small switch in a controller box......i always just envisioned running two wires. I need a nap

Do you want people to resubmit if we have only included a YouTube link?

It was super clever and noticed right away!
