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...

My understanding is that you give each projector a Raspberry Pi running FPP. And then just build a single sequence in xlights that includes the video effect attached to that projector when you want it to play. There was this: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqH_wtumT8g if you haven't...

I think @Jase has a behind the scenes video with some drone footage of his heads and his mounting approach (and the domes he used). I went with waterproof ones & have a unique/lazy mount point (they are sitting on a brick pillar) - so can’t help too much.

So this photo was supposed to be from a large post I haven't written up yet. But I really like these clips (I bought them from jay car because I wanted to work on it that day). They are attached to a connect pigtail and make it really easily to quickly work with seeds and identify which wire...

I’m curious - what is it about custom props that didn’t work with the visualiser?

I talked to @Johnno about it earlier today -- he's aware and working through with his web host about what the problem is.

got a link that doesn't require a login?

If you already had some 5V pixels and wanted to add some seeds maybe? I’ve got about 5000 5V seeds (pixel stakes and window matrixes) that work well - but I think anything new I’m adding will be 12. (Those ones were from when seeds were fairly new - and the 5V were almost half the price of 12V)
