big_dog_501 Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Dennis, I liked the Tennessee Spring MINI so much that I took my family back to Cleveland for vacation this year. We stayed at the Cleveland KOA and saw all the sights of Chattanooga. Thanks again to you, Doug, Andy, Bob and Sean. I will try to make the Tennessee Fall MINI and see if I can get some more folks from around Charlotte to come as well. David Anderson
Ron Boyd Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Sweet. Always nice to see you guys again. I'll be there. If you need me to speak a little on SS, I'll share what little bit I know. I've been using it for everything this year. Let me know something and I'll put some notes together, Ron

Dennis Cherry Posted September 3, 2013 Author Posted September 3, 2013 Just a reminder we are less then 2 weeks till the Tennessee Mini.What do you need in classes, we can arrange for some help.
Bizywk Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 I'm from a nearby state, a greenhorn newbie and have missed all the local meets due to work travel.I see that your meet is coming up fast, and I wish you well on it. I'm interested in trying to attend if I can. Where can I find out more information on this incl fees, etc? Is there a site I can go to for information?

dougd Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Newbies get free mini lights if you are interested, let me know.
Ron Boyd Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Since this is coming up in 2 weeks, I've started compiling some info for a Superstar session. For the folks that are coming to the Mini, if there is something that you would like to see, send me a PM and I'll hash it out and put it in the talk. As of right now I have about a 2 minute sequence setup for the different types of effects I've used, or learned this year. These effects include the new "Smooth Effects" that were released recently, morphs, images, scenes, clipboard effects that are already there and the new "VisEffect" that was introduced with the last beta release. I'm not much on the Instant sequencing so if anyone would like to offer their expertise there, that would be good. Looking forward to meeting some of the folks that are new to the TN Mini and also to see passed attendees. See everybody on the 14th. Ron
dougd Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Well I am interested is seeing how you are using the new smooth effects and also the viseffect. Bizywk, if you do decide to come, let me know and I will bring you some lights if you are interested.
Bizywk Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 As of today, we've been able to keep the calendar blocked out for this event and we're planning to be there. I say that cautiously though because my job requires extreme flexibility and the boss often springs things on me with little notice. I've calculated it to be about an 8hr / 500mile drive. Road Trip!

Dennis Cherry Posted September 7, 2013 Author Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) Update: Two more offerings for Tennessee Mini on September 14th.The new DIYBLinky pixel controller will be shown, this is one of the smallest full universe pixel controller available (170 pixels). Works with the WS28xx series pixel at 5 Volts and can operate at 40 FPS or better, that is 25ms timing. Also have the DIYBlink board for the GECE'sAlso Jim Nealand will be showing the falcon Pi Player which is a conductor like device running on a Raspberry Pi. We should be able to power it up and connect to your network (hardwired is all I have at the moment) and let anyone access the web configurator and screens. Could even load up a sequence and play it back after running it thru the xlights convert function. Edited September 7, 2013 by Dennis Cherry
Ron Boyd Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 Dennis. I have 2 of the DIYBlinky 2811 controllers. Would you like me to bring them also?
