dkoehler42 Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 I know I'm a bit late this year, especially since I didn't get to do the Halloween show. I'm looking for lights that either chase or change color. I'm aware light rope with a controller or the Cosmic Color Ribbon will do that, but that might be out of my price range. Also, I'm looking to move lights up where there is no gutter. Any suggestions?
Ron Boyd Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Suggestion: wait til next year. Not trying tobe smart or anything, but most everybody started tonight or tomorrow night with a few others starting on the 1st. Study up and do it next year

At this point, you'll experience grief and tons of frustration because of user error in hardware and software usage. Plan for next year and you'll be ahead of the game.
dkoehler42 Posted November 23, 2012 Author Posted November 23, 2012 Even if I were to wait, what options for lights are there besides rope and CCR?
n_gifford Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 I was in the same boat last year. I wanted the look and feel of CCRs, but too much for me. I discovered RGB pixels and haven't looked back. Check out the E1.31 board for more info, or send me a PM and I can share more details of where I get hardware from. And as far as this year, I agree with others. Unfortunately, you're out of time to build a display that you'd be happy with.
