looks like the weekend of the 4th was the preferred date. I’m off grid this weekend - but will start organising some details for it next week.

Hey Brisbane folks. We are looking to do the Melbourne mini on the same day as the Sydney one. Want to make it a national event on the 4th?

I have a run of 400 seeds (12V) with 30mm pitch without too much voltage drop (Noticeable on full white, not noticeable on effects). It's worth noting that while the wire is rubbish -- there is much less of it. Given you're talking 25mm spacing -- there's only 100 "regular" pixels worth of...

That looks so much better than my half completed attempt I took to the mini last year and haven’t touched since.

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...

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)
