scubado Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Hey Ken, how's your ball tree coming along? I have the balls put together and started mounting the ribbon. Unfortunately, my garage isn't tall enough in the peak to put it together upright. Hopefully I'll have enough floor space instead. Now that my son has moved out, I'm starting to get my garage back. He has a lot of bicycle parts still here that I'm packing up and getting them out of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubado Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I finally have my ball tree running for testing purposes. I had some communication issues with my DMX controllers and thanks to fogger for some suggestions that lead to a faulty power supply. Here's a sample video of how it looks: https://vimeo.com/43582176 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubado Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Besides playing with my b...s we recently got a second weiner dog, not to mention we have three female cats, so the jokes are always flying around home and work. What's really wrong is when the female weiner is humping the male cat! :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wbottomley Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Or... when RPM gets more of his E1.31 to 4 DMX universes boards in, this will be the cheapest route to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubado Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I was PM'ed and asked to provide some links as to what I used.The Fusion Pro was from:http://www.holidaytechnologies.com/catalog/product.php?id_product=58DMx controllers:http://www.holidaycoro.com/3-Channel-DMX-RGB-Controller-p/26.htmRGB ribbon, this the ribbon and vendor I used, and I believe other members have used these as well. I got 23 rolls and found no problems. I got a discount and upgraded shipping at no charge. The deal doesn't go through Ebay FYI.http://www.ebay.com/itm/5050-rgb-led-strip-5m-waterproof-150led-30led-m-smd-12V-ip65-car-tape-light-004-/221036308341?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3376ca6775Hula hoops I got at Menards $2ea.

He has a lot of bicycle parts still here that I'm packing up and getting them out of here.Ball tree project parked until next year. Bent some steel pieces and ran a test tho. Looked good.Replaced by a unique design: an rgb snowflake made from led ribbons. About 34" diameter with various pieces of 5050 LED ribbon strip, cut and soldered together. Making 15 of these for this year, driven by three LOR DC controllers; about 4 amps per snowflake (all colors lit).Prototype was just powder coated and beginning a production run using 1/2 square tubing. Uses about 19 feet of 5050 RGB LED strip. Hard part is getting the weatherproof epoxy coating off without damaging the copper solder pads. Designed to either stand alone or hang from a two-wire support. Heavy enough not to blow away in the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
