LOL, Ya I identified my pixels are 5V, unfortunately there was a little smoke and now they won't light ;)

Key point there, try the lower voltage first. 12V into a 5V may not end well.

@indigThanks, checking that link now. Viewing distance could be up to 150ft if I locate this on my house. If I build a stand and put it in the front yard, viewing distance could be 2ft (not that I would do that). I have flexibility though. I could even do 20 panels as I have ample space. I...

They are 320x160mm. Are you thinking I should do a 4x4 to keep the aspect ratio?

Looking at building a P5 matrix, likely utilizing 12 panels (4x3). If my research was accurate I'll need a Colorlight 75B or E, enclosure with 350 watt PSU, and a USB to Gigabit CAT connector. Probably some cables and odds & ends, but I'll cross that bridge. Question on the setup of a P5...

Not bad for an evening of pushing pixels.

...but I do have to push pixels into it right? Cuz my fingers are hurting!

Santa w/ moving face Frosty w/ moving face ...and Mickey Mouse w/ moving face Then we've got a Tune To Matrix and of course a major award 😀

So I got some sequences from Xtreme and they are certainly filled with amazing effects, and I'm sure will be great... ONCE I figure out how to map them and use them. Ron does a great job with his YouTube channel in trying to teach others how to go about using xLights and his sequences. I feel...

Already done. I noticed that if I change the dimensions on the first of a set of props and then select all of them, right click, and match them to size... it auto-updates all the props to match. That made changing the candy canes very easy. @Cranzy - I flipped them by using 180 degree on the...

So except for the peace stakes that I need to make models for, here's what we've got so far. These props aren't scaled properly or in their final home, but I wanted to get everything on the canvas before I start moving all the puzzle pieces around.

A new table full of goodies, my week just got busy 😀

I can tell you the answer to that now... as you've noticed it's only March

Haha never any excuses. Now I can start mapping lights in somewhat realistic dimensions and envision what the show may look like. I just had my 2nd batch of 5,000 lights come today, so the total is at 10,000. That should be enough for Year 1 after I add a Mega Tree (because light shows...

MMk, ruler set on the dormer over the windows which is exactly 14 feet. Then I clicked reset and this is the resulting view.
