Hey @Borgo - where in Vic are you? You can add your location to the map here: https://auschristmaslighting.com/locations/ I'm always keen to see new displays (I was going to say Members - but you've been here longer than me).

Any chance you’ve got output to lights enabled in xLights?

I use those with 30mm seeds (and they work well). Haven’t tried 25mm.

not this year. Hopefully someone is inspired to share (and someone is willing to do all the video editing) next year.

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...

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
