I did some 3cm seeds with Alan’s joiners and could make it work - but it was very tight and that first pixel is marginal. I also wasn’t trying to line them up. I will note that the pixel price seems a little bit high to me for regular 3 wire pixels. It’s certainly more than I paid in sept last...

Thanks for making that clear. I only mentioned it for interstate visitors…. Doesn’t make sense if you’re coming from vic. But if you’re travelling from Sydney or Adelaide then maybe it’s worth a detour.

For those travelling to Melbourne and want to see something unique (albeit $$$) on Friday/sunday night: https://puffingbilly.com.au/events/train-of-lights/ Or for another option: https://whatson.melbourne.vic.gov.au/things-to-do/lightscape (One more option for Victorian lighting events if...

100% agree. I know we ran out on Saturday, I think we had enough for the Sunday (after Craig went out and bought some more Sat night).

Will post the agenda here soon

My god, I can just see my 9 year old playing that song incessantly. I don’t know if I should thank you or curse your name.

Bumping this to remind everyone that the zoom call is on tonight.

PS - if you can't make the planning session on Friday 4th of April, at 8pm, in the xLights Zoom Room -- but you have a way you want to help out (or just have topics you would like to see covered) - send me a message with the details or put it in a post below.

It's coming to that time of year where we need to start planning for the Victorian mini. We are about 95% locked in on the date/venue (5/6th July - first weekend of the school hols). But we need to get on with planning everything else that needs to happen to make an event like this run. The...

Configure it in xLights, not direct on the controller.

The Melbourne mini is *probably* in early July (and probably in Sandringham), I remember we had a few folks from out your way last year. There were a couple from Kilmore, and @BluePat is in South Morang. I'm tagging Pat - because he has a pretty awesome matrix on his garage - but doesn't seem...

So this normally becomes an issue where the physical wiring doesn't match exactly with how you told XLights it's been configured. (The other issue is if you haven't uploaded outputs to the Balrick recently. Do that first, if it doesn't work - then do the rest) Can you get a screenshot of how...

Hey Jeff. Welcome to ACL. What are you thinking of adding this year? Where are you located? Most of the cities in Aus - we have a “mini” — a small conference to learn/share all about lighting. Would highly recommend that you attend your local one if you can (they are generally in June/July)

Just how big is the tree? How many pixels are you looking to run? I know @SarahD has a front years tree in a bunch of pixels and was testing return-wire seed pixels - but I think they could only do runs of about 100. How are you thinking about sequencing it? I think the kinds of things you...
