Hi Dan, Good luck with everything. Remember you can always jump into the chat with questions and if it's a bit more in depth then jump on the xlights zoom meeting.
If you have not yet, I suggest downloading a copy of ACL's 101 Manual. It is a good place to begin learning animated RGB lighting. As others have mentioned there is the Chat Room to ask questions although it is more active during Australian daylight hours. There are also the various ACL pages, forums and such that can be searched. Cheers.
