The Legend of Wooley Swamp for singing pumpkin

Recommended Posts

Does anyone, by chance, have this sequence for a Halloween singing pumpkin. The 8 channel is the one I'm looking for, however, anything will do. I have zero experience with any of the mouth movement software and was wondering if anyone was willing to share.

 

Thanks,

Ron

Ron, I am curious after looking at some of the videos of your awesome display, what are the round light props around your front door?

 

Thanks

Just a round piece of Coroplast with 16 pixels per circle. Lighted portion is roughly 15" in diameter. I saw a KISS video sometime in 2014 and they had some Pixel circles and a neat effect where 4 or 5 pixels were moving in circles opposite each other. I thought, "that's a neat effect" 

 

They're pretty easy to build and I got some really good compliments last year. I used a scroll saw, to cut the 4mm Coroplast into about an 18 circle, marked and drilled 4 circles at a time on a drill press, added a 1/2" thick ring of ABS that's about 2" in from the edge, (for rigidity), and popped in the pixels, and away I went. Total build time, about 4 hours with soldering the wire between them and adding power injection. I can get some pics later if you'd like to see how they are put together.

 

Thanks for the kudos too. It's always nice to hear one of my peers liking my display.

Thanks! Some pictures would be great. I am currently in the process of building a square RGB matrix similar to the triangle one above your garage. Copying ones ideas is the best form of flattery!

I hope you like the Square better than I did the Triangle. I didn't care for it too much and nobody hardly saw it. As soon as it came down, I pulled the pixels from it and used them in something else. I also didn't like the 360° tree with the wire loom. It is now set up as a flat 2D tree like Brian's Superstar tree, without the wire loom, but that's another story. 

 

I'll try and get some pics this weekend, if I can find the blasted things. You know, stored for the summer and all that.
