Getting confused as I think about S4 to S5 + pixel transition??
uncledan replied to Donl1150's topic in General LOR Questions
Have you taken a look at Xlights? I wouldn't recommend for this year as its getting late. FREE software is a plus. You can import LOR sequences as well. I just started from scratch with Xlights when I made the jump from 100% incans to 100% RGB. -
great post on setting up the pi and colorlight(s). Takes you through every step.. https://auschristmaslighting.com/threads/multiple-colorlight-cards-with-fpp-for-p5-panels-guide.11762/

From what I recall it was pretty user friendly. I didn't get into it too much. Its been 9 months since I've touched it. Pretty sure you can download a free trial and give it a try

I hired someone in the past to take drone footage of the display (wasn't cheap). I decided to just buy a drone as part of my blinky budget for the year. I used DJI Phantom 4 and Corel Video Studio, not that I did much editing of the drone footage. I will do a little bit better job this year hopefully with multiple views etc. 4k video is a plus

You try Xlights? Its FREE and very user friendly with tons of tutorials and FREE shared sequences

Converting to RGB, what to buy???
uncledan replied to RGBNewbie's topic in General Decorating Questions
I see you're located in Los Angeles.There is a SoCal lighting group you may want to look into. Tons of people close to you that can help out. There is a mini on September 7th in Corona. Check it out if you haven't already. www.facebook.com/groups/socalchristmas/ -
If you want something stand alone the HC-1 panel controller is very simple and great for a tune to sign https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32643418307.html The software for it isn't the greatest but it works fine for a tune to sign. I used one of these for several years for a 3x4 P10 matrix for my tune to sign. This would be much easier and cheaper than BBB, Pi, Colorlight etc. The Matrix Pihat from CFOL is another option. I used two of the Matrix Pihats last year and it was very easy to setup and worked great. Lots of options out there

I would strongly recommend you read the ACL101 manual several times. This is a must for RGB or pixels. https://auschristmaslighting.com/threads/auschristmaslighting-101-manual.1889/

I'm about 30 minutes away in Buellton. No longer using LOR though. 30k+ pixel display with Xlights. Glad to see someone else in the area. There aren't any other displays I know of close
-
I suggest Xlights and its FREE! Another option worth looking into
-
+1 for a Pi. Cant beat the price for a "show computer" at a whopping $30.00...

how many amps will a 12v fifty node smart pixels rgb string draw
uncledan replied to sysco's topic in The Coffee Shop
I've tested actual current draw on over 30,000 12v nodes. NONE of them were 60ma(.06 amps). That's a very safe number if someone doesn't have the capabilities to actually test them. I find it nice to actually test items in my display and not just go off of what a vendor tells me.
