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.

if you take Alan's Tee, connect a 3 pin x-connect male pigtail to the pos/gnd then you could build your own. https://mattosdesigns.com/products/spiker-t-power-balance-cable-hassle-free-power-balancing-for-rgb-led-strings-5-pack

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Not that one. Something like this: https://lawnhub.com.au/blogs/news/how-to-apply-plant-growth-regulator-pgr-to-your-lawn

My lawn props are the last thing I put outside

You can look into “plant growth regulator” which will slow down some of the growth in your lawn (and potentially make it thicker/lusher).

This doesn’t have the pi bits: https://www.hansonelectronics.com.au/product/baldrick8-rtr/

@DinoChickenSuit - it’s a newer brand, but I suspect there are more Baldricks in Australia than kulp boards. That could change if @dkulp ever had an Australian stockist - the k16pro does look like a pretty great combo board. The US market might be different, but in the UK or AU - I think you...

how many pixels do you have on the matrix? This is where the dig-octa starts to show its limits - each brain board is limited in how many pixels it can drive. My general rule of thumb is about 2000 pixels (at 40fps) is the limit for WLED on e131 at 40fps. I think DDP would go a little bit...

So if WLED is performing fine for you already, I don’t think I’d bother trying to change the firmware. But if that’s not the case - there’s a few things: ESPixel stick can run as an “FPP Remote” so instead of streaming all show data to it, you upload the files ahead of time and just stream...
