From the controller side -- Baldric, FPP and WLED all have local effects/controls for driving pixels during the other 11 months of the year. And schedules for turning it on/off. And then will connect into a show network to take DDP/e1.31. For extra credit -- you could look at hooking up a...

There are certainly people using twinkly lights with xlights…. I’ve never done it, but I know it’s possible.

Per the edit to the original post and my quick googling — it’s a 3 wire protocol with no clock (I fully admit I could be wrong here — never heard of it before today.)

Yeah - I was surprised when I didn't find support in WLED for it. It seems to pickup the new protocol variants pretty quickly (somewhat expected as the main open source pixel controller) - but still has a bunch of gaps in old ones. @domhodgson - since you were asking about pixel variants that...

Do they have a custom xmodel? Or a default cube/matrix one?

Standard 2 outputs don’t require DPI and thus don’t require a license. I run my EL pi hat with 2 500px outputs without a license

Thanks to everyone who came along - especially those travelling a long way (@Johnno, @Spud Fratantaro, @Jasonhawkins). Was great to see you all (and meet some of you for the first time) and looking forward to seeing a bunch of new and upgraded displays this December.

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

so you can run them: Only in a sequence standalone running their own thing driven by buttons/etc In a sequence, but with buttons that take priority To my mind, the second is the easiest. But I’d like to try and move mine to the third one this year. So you probably want a dedicated FPP...

The shipping to Melbourne mini will have ended yesterday - not sure on the EOFY code.

doesn't a chase just do that for you? or is there something I'm missing?

Single Strand effect with a Render style of Single line should probably do what you're after.

Reminder to all that RSVPs are due tomorrow. Because we organise the catering ourselves (thanks so much @cdjazman and @mccar) - we need to actually go purchase the food/drinks/etc.

I should put the disclaimer up front that I do not expect my end result to look anywhere near as good as that fire pit area. I think that guy did a fantastic job.

neat idea. I think if I was going to fully encase this -- fibre-optic makes an awful lot of sense. Certainly the plan here it to have everything be able to be maintained and modified (as much as you can maintain ip67 strip - another pro for the seeds) How bright do you find the fibre-optic stuff?
