Seed are great - i only run mine at 30% brightness Some of the ali express suppliers can make custom size matrix which might be better than getting stuck with standard sizes

you could have some kind of thin metal/maybe 3d printed bracket that you could slot under/between the tiles

Not yet but might give them a go next year SHENZHEN RITA LIGHTING LTD seems to be the company that makes all the raywu stuff but im sure some of it is just sourced from other manufacturers

also interested was considering the same thing and undecided if i use pixels or something dumb

I run all seeds and evos from raywu and had good luck with them so far. Use seeds for stuff like window outlines, mega tree, arches and some props with 3d printed adaptors for 12mm holes Moved mostly to evos for coro props this year as seed adaptors are annoying to install. Like them so far but...

Im not running any FM transmitter yet - partially due to the laws, partially due to it seeming outdated especially with modern cars and processing delays. My thoughts were if your running about the legal limit of FM transmission power then then the licensing for the music is only a part of the...

Seems its pretty easy to get a licence which covers music broadcast over FM but how does everyone handle the legality of FM transmitters? seems the legal ultra low power is practically useless and impossible to comply with but affordable/easy path to legally running a useful power level?

Managed to get my lights lit up for 1st Dec some how - was doing the final touches last night at 7:20 for a 7:30 show start! Will do a more indepth post but now have: 3 Baldrick8 Controllers just under 8000 Pixels P5 panel display 6x8 panels 384x256 pixels ~1900x1200mm New props: Flakes, Canes...

Missed some posts in my thread so some late replies! @christmasdave @joshk Seeds on the roof have some how survived a full year up there Metal roof does get super hot but no issues so far Yes they take data from one end only I hot glued them up - dodgy but was a quick last minute thing last...

I managed to get music downloads from amazon US working but its a bit of a process 1) Use australian amazon account on amazon.com (important - .com.au wont work) to buy a gift card 2) Use a VPN connected to US server and create another Amazon.com account (seperate email, fake US address) I...

I bought these last year - work great but found them a bit expensive for what they are (but couldnt find an alternative at the time) https://brickgrip.com.au/products/brick-hook-5-pack

way quicker and wires cant short out on each other Especially good when soldering stuff like seed pixels were you only have 20-40mm of thin wire to work with

Im a big fan of these as long as its something that can be done at a bench https://www.hansonelectronics.com.au/product/seedjoiner-v2/ (or the larger ones for bullets) No need for 3 small bits of heatshrink for each wire, just a one piece of 6mm gluelined 4:1

haha i know the feeling Second year doing it but at least doubled the pixel count + a large p5 matrix Placed by first orders in june? but only just going to be done in time! Extra time just gave time for more ideas and "you have plenty of time..."

20mm pvc pipe makes good frames for matrix etc
