jerryb721 Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 I'm with Greg, I've never really stopped.Soon as I bought 3 more controllers I knew I had my work cut out for myself.Worse thing is I've only figured out what to do with one of them.

All new stuff and I am finally adding video to a few sequences.Since my display is not changing much (except I am adding a 32 channel Marty Fan) my set up will not be to hard.I started the fan. All I need is red and white 70 count LEDs lights (about 100 strands) total..........should cost $1000.00 CAD at Costco.............and add cords to 4 more controllers.Finally, touch up last years sequences a bit.
Dan C Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 I've been working since Feb. this is what I"ve done so far.1. I've built (8) 2 channel mini trees,2. Built (1) 9 channel light arch.3. 500' spt2 wire bought4. 120 vampire ends bought5. 20 strobes boughtTo do:I've got 2 more arches to build.Buy and build 3 controllers, and upgrade software. (waiting for sale, Hint Hint...)program 64 channel sequences for 8 songs.For now....I already have ideas for the following year that I probably wont add to this year, unless I get everything done early and somehow come up with some extra money.
shfr26 Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 My Done list.1.My to do list.1. Build 5 arches2. Rebuild my TOT, new element of 9 mini trees in a triangle shape3. Do new sequences, about 10 or so, maybe more ,maybe less4. Redo most of last years sequences5. Hope the new software comes out in time to speed things up. (hint,hint)6. Edit a bunch of songs I want to use this year.I'm sure there is more but don't want to think about it right now. Was out in garage thinking how I want to do my arches, looked at thermometer, 97 degrees, went back inside to cool off.

shfr26 Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Don't rub it in. Heat index about 107, but at least it doesn't snow often.
