[QUOTE="i13, post: 119171, member: 21708"] Hi KGV and welcome I was in a similar position back in 2013-2014. Those store bought lights can often be converted to work with computer control alongside the pixels. I was not sure what Peace Pixel Stakes are so I Googled it. That's a great effect! They seem to be randomly scattered around the lawn but they display coordinated effects. Each one would have been placed in a planned position. It is giving me ideas. Thanks for bringing this up. [MEDIA=youtube]yQ54av8MkYQ[/MEDIA] [I][SIZE=2][URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ54av8MkYQ']View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ54av8MkYQ[/URL][/SIZE][/I] Answering the auestion about the difficulty level of sequencing in xLights, I suggest going ahead and trying it. xLights is available as a free download and you can draw up a preview of the display items and start sequencing before you've built anything. The idea does not sound bland to me. The pixel stakes are versatile enough that you don't need to use all of them as stakes. If there are extras, you could stack them end-to-end and use them as house outlines or you could arrange them to make a star or spinner shape. Starting with something simple is a good plan, especially as we're already halfway through the year. Once you've used this year to learn the required concepts, it is easier to add to an existing pixel display than it is to start from the beginning. [/QUOTE]

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