Greetings all. Yet another newbie who wants to increase the wow factor for the kids and grandchild (and my own warm fuzzy).
I looked at the location map and unfortunately there is none listed in the southern half of the state for me to do a behind the scene tour.
So... to what I currently have.
1 x 600 bulb blue multifunction set from Big W
2 x 200 bulb blue multifunction icicle starter set from Big W
4 x 100 bulb blue multifunction icicle extension set from Big W
1 x 250 bulb multi-coloured multifunction fairy light set from Coles
Quite a broad experience with electronics, construction, fault finding etc.
2 x P4 computers that can be dedicated to the display.
I am aware of removing the 8 way controllers and using the strings myself.
What I want.
Ideas for DC low voltage controllers and other diy stuff that I can make this setup look pretty.
I am not exactly the most financial of people, but if I have a budget to aim for it helps.
So not much, just the usual.
Maybe next year (2014) technology will have evolved further and I will have more means to go smart RGB and build a mega-tree.
The main issue there is the approx $50 (inc freight) per strip from china.

Love what I have seen so far and will be a constant lurker!

Cheers
Chris (vk7hch)
