[QUOTE="LawrenceDriveLights, post: 107044, member: 27185"] Hi Badger, a smaller display can still look great with clever prop use. You mention house outlines inc windows and roof lines etc as well as some arches which can display some great effects. I don't have any experience with esp8266s controllers but some have had success while others have not. So answering your questions 1. xlights can do both sequenced to music and animated displays so I would recommend xLights and its possible to sequence numerous great effects with xLights and simply repeat the sequence you create with your show schedular (xschedule is contained within xLights download). 2.Not sure about wled, but xLights does. 3. Falcon F16V3 pixel controller as it will future proof you if you wish to increase your display and the Falcon pixel controllers have great community support if you need any assistance etc. There is other options also for example pi hats for raspberry pi's or Capes Beagle Bones etc to use as a pixel controller. Here is a sample of some sequences for a smaller displays which may give you a idea of what your layout may look like.

Note sure of your location but if your near one of the ACL mini's you may want to attend also as part of your research into a light display. [/QUOTE]

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