[QUOTE="scamper, post: 96189, member: 22285"] If you need some help at any time, I am up the hill in Collie :-) I use a Pi also and some people way smarter than I have done all the hard work and written the code to run the lights. [URL]http://falconchristmas.com/forum/index.php?board=8.0[/URL] I personally use Vixen to program my display, but xlights is gaining in popularity (much like the old vhs vs beta, or windows vs linix) , both of which you can output the data from your computer to run on a Pi. Have a look at some displays, work out what you would like in your display (it doesn't matter if you don't get to it all to start with) Download one of the software packages I mentioned (they are free) and start mucking around with that. That is one of the biggest learning curves. You can do a display, without doing a display, meaning you can program what you think you will have and then actually build the props and add them to the program later. If you have got some spare money, order some lights, it doesn't need to be lots at this stage, get a controller and power supply, and then when you work out the software, you can hook up some lights to the controller and to the supply and get them blinking to the music. Once you have achieved that, you will be hooked, and it will all fall into place. Until then it is all theory :p [/QUOTE]

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