[QUOTE="LAG, post: 118658, member: 35268"] I have always loved putting up holiday lights for both Halloween & Christmas since as far back as I can remember. Last year I bought a Mr. Christmas show device & it was fun but really basic and did not teach me anything I needed to learn that would help me with starting my own holiday show. This year, I bought a strand of addressable RGB's, an uno microcontroller, and I have been learning how to use arduino code to get different effects. Recently, I downloaded the xLights software to start to understand more of how to sequence and then realized I am fully out of my depth when it comes to all the electrical components needed. My goal for this year was to be able to do a small Halloween show with pumpkin props (talking) and then a Christmas show with a tree prop and some basic lighting. I am having a hard time connecting all of the dots -- Holidaycoro has a great pumpkin prop with easy to follow installation but it appears the available model & sequence is really only compatible using LOR software. When I find someone who sells props not LOR based, there is no model & no sequence so I'm on my own. I am one of those learners who needs a step-by-step process for prop building (especially connecting strings to channels) and a ready-to-run sequence then I can work backwards to DYIing. Any suggestions if I want to start with xlights? [/QUOTE]

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