There isn't any vendors here in Perth that sell coro props. You might be able to find a company to cut coro if you have the design files, sign shops, companies with a CNC router table etc. Getting/making the prop design files is quite a bit of work. Shipping is expensive, but i've somewhat...

When you are ordering that many, you can get them anyway you like. Get the seeds made up with the exact number you need with the exact length tails you need. I did something very similar last year. I ordered 50 sets of 260seeds at 3cm spacing. I also requested 1m tails at both ends, and 2core...

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
