It's about time I posted some details about the Melbourne mini. I'll flesh out the post more over the coming weekend, but I wanted to get it out there. Here's the details you need: Date: Saturday July 4th. Time: 9:00-5:30 Cost: $30 (to cover food/drink/incidentals on the day) Location...

slight update today. It’s been in the ground since late November, but not lit up all that often since Christmas. I noticed today that something decided to chew through the silicon/strip: It was right at the end where it comes out of the channel and I hadn’t quite decided what to do with the...

As a reminder - this is happening tonight (in about 1 hour from this message)

So it's about the time of year that we need to plan out the Melbourne Mini. Can you join a call next Tuesday (May 26th) from 7:00pm to work out what we are doing this year. Tuesday, May 26 · 7:00 – 8:00pm Time zone: Australia/Melbourne Google Meet joining info Video call link...

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.
