TJ Hvasta Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I label the front of the cases with the prop name (Mega1Red, Mega3Blue, Arch 3 & 4, Mini GRN, etc) on duct tape/magic marker, so I know to place the proper units in their correct locations.

Someone like me, with my background, should have known better too but I'm only human. The first project to get up was the megatree and that's where the error started. Looks good now as of last night's test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehgilman Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Got the roof done last week, (Only two channels) Did the Gutters, windows, Headges yesterday and ran a test on those channels and they worked great. Can't wait to get the rest of the show up and test the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrant Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I'm down to three wire frame props that I'm waiting for led floods to arrive for otherwise I'm ready to run. Took me a week to put it all up with no help. Next task is to video the display running and somehow post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paralegalnc Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 I label the front of the cases with the prop name (Mega1Red, Mega3Blue, Arch 3 & 4, Mini GRN, etc) on duct tape/magic marker, so I know to place the proper units in their correct locations.I have mine labeled, as far as the channels, then I have a list, and a back up list, and then the channel configurations, then a drawing, and then of course I've worked in it so much I have it memorized. only 48 channels. not too hard.. now next year may be harder... I know my show.. I know what is supposed to be on when, where it goes, how long it stays on... OCD? absolutely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know my show.. I know what is supposed to be on when, where it goes, how long it stays on... OCD? absolutely! Yeah, that's how I knew something was wrong with mine...I know my show too! I'm doing 96 channels this year and do have another controller but for this year, its a spare only. During the couple of evenings of tests, lots of cars were slowing down to check it out. One family stopped, so I lit it up for them and their kids were loving it. Made me feel good. Today I put out a simple sign stating 11/23. 6Pm, first light up and all are welcome.
