[QUOTE="merryoncherry, post: 125646, member: 37249"] Maybe it depends what you're trying to do, and what part of the hobby you want to spend your time on. If you're trying to learn to do pixels the way they were done 10 years ago when you needed to know stuff about things and build your own controller? Or just trying to make a show with ready-to-run kit? Or maybe you love your existing stuff but want to add music. If you really want to make a show, and experiment without spending money, it may be better to: 1. Take a picture of your house 2. Put it in xLights 3. Draw in a few props (maybe based on someone else's display that you liked) 4. Sequence them and watch the preview window 5. Make some changes, go back to step 3 6. Figure out what you'd need to build that show. Where does the controller go? How many lights and cables? How much time will it take you? 7. If you can't do it all at once, prioritize If you already own a lot of stuff and just want to set it all to music for a couple hundred bucks, go Light-o-Rama. [/QUOTE]

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