[QUOTE="scamper, post: 70562, member: 22285"] Firstly. What do you have to work with. ie. Pixels or dumb strips, controller types, power supplies and what software are you using? Basically, what I did (and everyone is different in one way or another) I got myself a string and a controller and then hooked it up in the shed and wrote a very short simple sequence in Vixen and then played it to see if I had it working. It turns out I didn't as the dmx controller I bought was a dud. I asked questions on here, then bought a new controller and started again. I got it working this time, so added more strings to make sure they did what I wanted when I wanted. Then I started building the props. All of my props are wired with waterproof plugs on them so I could just plug them into a test setup in the shed before hey went outside. My biggest mistake was leaving it so late before setting the display up outside as when I went to turn it all on, I found several other problems that took days to sort out. So this year, I will be setting up early and doing a lot more testing. [/QUOTE]

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
