Here's my 54 minute show with a Christmas Vacation intro and 17 songs. New for this year was my big mega tree, house outline, and 8 candy canes. The mega tree is a 30 strand x 100 tree that stands about 19 feet with the 36" star. Added 10 guy wires because I'm a control freak. My old tree...

I should also mention these will need to be more functional than just visually appealing. The reason I want them at the base of my fence border is so I can see if my 3 low riders (2 dachshunds, 1 chihuahua) pee and poop before bedtime or if they are just sniffing around the yard forever trying...

Also, if I went with Govee I’d just plug them in and they’d work. Where’s the fun in that 😂

I almost got the Govee hanging bulb style since I need exactly 288 feet. Two strings of 144ft. Only thing is maintenance. Not sure how easy it is to get bulb covers and such when they fade and many reviews say they collect water. That tubing is chemical resistant but not sure on UV. My arches...

I created a set of 8 arches using this 2" tubing and they came out great. Been using them for 4 years now. My next project is to use that same tubing but sized so is only enough for the LED strip and maybe power injection wires. What I'm attempting to do is the attach the tubing to the bottom of...

On the "upload to controller" from xLights, I'm assuming it's best practice to ensure you can run a successful test pattern to all lights first, correct? Seems like several videos drilled that into my head. I'm also with you, the Holiday Coro videos are horribly lacking when it comes to...

I think I watched that same video many times. I sent you a private message with my address info. If you'll send me yours, I'll get a USPS Label for a Small Flat Rate Priority Mail box. That way you won't need a box since you use theirs. Board is 4"x7.5", so the small priority box (5-3/8" x...

HinksPix config seems very finicky to begin with, so uploading to it from xLights scares me.

I've never used the "Upload to Controller" feature in xLights. I've always just set the controller up, then added it. Is that safe to do for all of my controller brands once I've got it all set up in xLights?

Should I do that in the Hinks Pix config or in Xlights or both? And should I do 1000 for Hinks, 2000 for AlphaPix, 3000 for DigQuad, etc

Just let me know how to get you a shipping label. And I am more than happy to pay for the board. I am at your mercy. :) Here's my show from last year. I have my own web server so I can get away with the song copyright issues that YouTube gives my when trying to share. It was a 20 minute show...

All controllers are hard wired, no wifi, so show ran pretty smooth last year. Hoping all the new elements it will still go smoothly.
