[QUOTE="QLDKing(Brad), post: 85180, member: 25973"] Hi all So I have been watching the forum since Christmas and thought time to officially say hello. After many years of saying to the kids let's do that next year, the year has finally come so time to get some brownie points from the kids (and the wife). I have read the 101 a few times now, but I'm the kind of person that until I see it I won't understand it. So far I'm into this time spent on learning xlights for mac, listening to music to try and get some ideas, watching YouTube for more ideas, and reading all the posts in the forums. I'm interested in understanding what funds I need to acquire from the minster of treasury to try and complete what I would like. I would like to: 1 - Have 4 x spiral trees. My welding skills are non existent so I brought a 150cm spiral obelisk plant trainer from Bunnings (see photo) to see how it looks. I like it (as it has the spirals already on it so I can get the spacing spot on) so will buy some more and just add the lights. 2 - have with a mega tree. I see this as a great foundation to have and it would be a focal point, especially in my early years. I have been trying to get an idea on a size and cost. But have not been able to find it. I think I would like to go with a 180 deg tree. But not sure of height. 3 - (funds permitting) a matrix for the front fence (size of the fence is around 2 mt wide x 1.5 mt high). 4 - (funds permitting) possibly just some multi colour strip lights to start highlighting windows etc. As said above I am going to go with xlights for mac for sequencing (unless the items I purchase mean I need to use something else). So I would like the lights to be able to run all the effects (pictures, colour changes etc). I'm happy to use the mac to run the lights, but I read I could export to USB and put it in a Pi?? What would I need to purchase and some ball park costs for the purchases would be appreciated? I have been reading about minis and would definitely be attending one in Brisbane in the future if one is held. Another (probably regular) question, but how can I tell if my current lights are able to be included in the sequence, even if it's just to turn off and on? I'm sure I got more questions but for now I think that's enough. Thanks all for your time Brad Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]

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