Great idea again Pierre. I am flexible with dates and reasonably free. Look forward to coming.

Hi Pierre, Looking forward to being there this year. Sorry for the late reply. Been tied up.

Haven’t tested on props yet but all appears ok on computer. As others have said on other posts I think it has got to do with sub models within models. Even though it specifies the node number on the exact model I can’t see any errors. but once again it must be a bug in version 27. Noticed that...

I have the same thing and it has only happened since I loaded version 27. Went back to 25 and no more warnings. Presumed that the developers would correct it soon.

Hi Cranzy. Look forward to meeting other people to discuss and share do’s and don’t’s with pixels/xlights. Possibly share my experiences so far and hopefully point newcomers on the right track.

My megatree consists of 16 pixel strips of 5 metres long. I have cable tied the strips to flat aluminium bar mounted to 120 degree curve at top and bottom. Aluminium 12mm x 3mm and it has performed perfectly for 5 years. Very quick and easy. Aluminium is about $1 per metre.

I should be free to also help where I can.

I would like to thank Gareth for the terrific effort in putting this all together at his house and Debbie for the delicious food feeding the masses. Also Pierre for organising the prizes. I think we all learned a lot and it was great just mingling with like minded enthusiasts.

Good comment. Those are my thoughts also when selecting songs. I want kids and mums dancing and singing in front of my house. Heck I even had people applauding at a few songs last year and they were fun songs.

Hey Alan that looks great. Can I suggest that you sequence it all with lyrics and post it. Not that I’m lazy but you know it is a lot of work and I could even be appreciative. HoHoHo that will be two bottles of wine I owe you now.

I have a 1200 pixel matrix 50x24 spaced at 50mm. Looks good from a distance but if finances had have allowed I would have gone 25mm. But it all depends on viewing distance. 50mm gets me two matrixes compared to one of the 25mm for the same price.

Hi Gareth. Hope we can get this going this year. I’m ok for all days.

I mounted my 6mt megatree in my garage roof and used a hinge at bottom with a boat winch half way to raise and lower the main 40x40mm pole and then remove it completely. Works a treat.
