It came together!!! That’s all for your assistance.

A little bit of RTFM and i was able to find the layering settings. Using the addition layer I found I could keep the alternate lights on and go between 5% and 100%. Saved that effect and going to play tomorrow!

I am trying to go for the more 'fadey' option. However whenever I tick the 3D option the output on the nodes disappears. Setting for the 'on' layer Setting for the Bar without 3D Setting for the bar with 3D. I'm sorry to ask so many questions. I feel I am so close!

She is my biggest enabler! She dragged me to bunnings last weekend for another 4 runs of lights.

I’m from Cleveland myself. Previously just strung a few fairy lights. This year getting all the lights in sync with some of Hanson Electronics gear. If you wanted to check it out let me know. It is going up over the next few weekends. My main gripe was all the Bunnings lights not being in...

@AAH Where can I locate the HEX file? I can see the instructions on your website, however I can't locate the actual hex file. Cheers Simon

Hello All! In previous years I have just done Bunnings lights, but this year I am trying to bring them all into sync with some hardware from Hanson Electronics. It is a lot of fun! I doubt I will make it onto any of the Christmas light lists for Brisbane, but I am thoroughly enjoying...

Awesome! Thank you. I will keep this in mind for the expansions (planning for next year, but likely mid november) Simon
