    What do you mean "because of the lack of strings"?

    Mega Tree Top Plate - options

    I drew mine up and cut it on the laser at work. You would have to find a job shop with a laser to cut it for you. I do not know how common that is around you. Some places do not like cutting single pieces and will price it very high to discourage you.

    Why all the ports on a controller…

    Firmware change allows smart receivers daisy chained. I think it was v2.55 but mine are on v2.59

    Set the brightnees you want in xLights then let xLights make all your controller settings.

    Why all the ports on a controller…

    If you daisy chain those smart receivers you can get it up to 28 ports maybe 36 if you converted port 1-4 to smart and then hooked up receivers to the serial port.

    Why all the ports on a controller…

    Your power supply will be your limiter. My 12 volt regulated pixel use 0.36 watts at 50% brightness white. The power supply is 350 watts but I do not think you should max out the power supply so if you take 80% of that which is 280 watts divide that by 0.36 watts/ pixel leaves you with 777...

    Christmas is over, time to tear down ... name something about your 2022 display that you liked (or plan to improve/change)

    I added mini trees under my arches for this year, they added more to the show then I was expecting. A couple viewers told me they liked that addition.

    Outdoor cable markers

    I am trying these this year from Amazon. I have printed labels with a label maker in the past and had good luck.

    Any recommendation on an analog FM receiver to add to one of my controller boxes?

    Holiday Coro business practice

    To add to this is is not just a audit it could be an audit from every state so a small company that was doing everything correct could end up with thousands in legal and accounting fees to prove they are innocent.

    Making 2 strings from different ports into 1 continuous string.

    Your left eve should be start at blue square. The render style can also change how it looks.

    Making 2 strings from different ports into 1 continuous string.

    Not saying it was wrong. I have had to do some complicated things to fix my mistakes

    20’ mega tree

    Another opinion on the tree. I use a 360° tree but for a number of sequences I use a 180° sub model. I think images look better when there is not any light on the back side of the tree. My wife likes to look out the window and see the lights on the tree also.

    Making 2 strings from different ports into 1 continuous string.

    That seems like a complicated method of doing it but i might be missing a reason for that.
