[QUOTE="Iain, post: 133063, member: 28267"] Nothing to stop you playing around with XLights (or Vixen) while you wait either - get ahead on learning the app. You can skip right past the controller setup screen and go straight to your house model. The most cost-effective cash I spent was paying [URL='https://www.fiverr.com/syedahmedfaraz']a guy on fiverr[/URL] $50 to design a house model for me which I could import into XLights. I measured every angle and edge, and sent photos and he sent back some object files which I could keep working on (but never have). It makes designing so much easier when you have a 3D model to work on, rather than black space. If you can afford it, you don't need to build everything yourself. There are accessories to help you along the way - "Boscoyo strips" help you line up all your pixels, pre-made corflute props make it super easy to just add pixels. Save your building efforts for fitting it to your house/fence/yard. Have a look at some other first-timer posts - [URL='https://auschristmaslighting.com/threads/2023-journey-first-display-for-johnnyboy.15380/']the poster boy of first year efforts[/URL], and [URL='https://auschristmaslighting.com/threads/new-here-first-time-user.15509/']someone else starting now[/URL]. There's a [URL='https://auschristmaslighting.com/threads/sydney-build-party-10-september.15480/']Sydney build party[/URL] in a few days which would be well worth trying to get to just to see the hardware up close. Finally, check out [URL='https://auschristmaslighting.com/threads/pixels-promotion-free-shipping-from-melbourne.15497/']this post[/URL] as well as local suppliers - they may have some left! All the best! [/QUOTE]

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