Hey Sammy. For my custom ones -- I just connected some clips to a connect input and then in my test bench WLED I lit up pixel 1 in Red, 2 in Green, 3 in Blue. Then I could quickly check If I got all three colours lighting up (aka - I was connected to Data-In) or if I only got 2 (I was...

2m is getting longer - but within the testing that I and people like @SarahD have done.

Pixel stakes? I know there’s some limits on how long the data will travel down a return wire — but 50cm or so should be fine. (I’m running some 2.5m)

Yup. That’s exactly how it works.

I'm sure there are technically some LOR users in Australia. (And despite the name of the forum - this is probably the wrong place to ask about it.) But I don't believe there are very many -- most of the Australian community is running xlights. You are likely going to get much better local...

Hey @TriC -- add yourself to the map! Always keen to find new ACL members to visit.

Welcome. Where on the peninsular are you? (You can add your house to the location list here: https://auschristmaslighting.com/locations/ ) The seed pixels stakes are looking great. (Looks like you've got a ton of soldering/waterproofing to do between now and show-time)

The Baldrick will need to be plugged into your network - it doesn't run standalone. (There are more complex approaches to build a "show network" and run a seperate standalone network for it to connect to - but they do add extra complexity)

Hey @kym.merchant - I didn't get a chance to mention this the other day -- but you can use: https://autolyrics.lightingfanatics.com/ to generate the timing for any song you want the trees to sing. Just upload the mp3 and the lyrics. (It really only works for one voice at a time - and only for...

Probably should edit that first post as well

Edited to say — looks like it’s on Dec 13th now

@MR_kymm4 - were you going to do a post on the FB group for this one?

Hey @murtz4u , where in Melbourne are you? If you really get moving, you could probably get something going for this year. But the key thing is probably to reach out to some people near you -- November might be a great time to go talk to people as they are setting up their show.

From a controller standpoint — they are all standard ws2811 pixels. So your old controller should work. (I guess just keep an eye out for max # of pixels per port and things like that)

Yes. I have a diy version (top floor windows) - but the pre made matrixes are pretty nice. And so much lighter.
