Some suggestions for an agenda

 

Brian wrote:

- If enough people have the falcon16, perhaps David can talk about setup etc.

- Swap meet if people have stuff to sell or trade.

- Show and tell. I thought this was one of the best parts down in the COS as well as the recent academy in TX.

- setting up rgb / universes to work in LOR3

- how Sean ran show only using nutcracker

- Basics of using vixen 3. Someone in the metro used it exclusively, although I don't remember who.

mms wrote:

A demo of the Falcon Pi Player may be neat.

I'd like to see a demo of Vixen 3 and/or HLS.

Maybe a show and tell new show elements.

sean wrote:

- i will demonstrate how to share nutcracker sequences. ill bring 20 already done and share them

- will bring my 20x120 flex strips and set them up to demo xlights

Greg write:

- I have a lot of 5 meter WS2811 strips 12VDC still brand new in the bags not opened that I want to sell from Ray Wu.  They are just a few     weeks old. 

- I also would like to set up a 'swap meet' of Christmas light items that we all could buy/sell/trade. Bring all your unused or un-needed christmas light stuff and let's see if we can trade. 

-I'm currently needing 5V WS2811 strips as my requirements for my megatree changed in mid build.

 

 

 

What is everyone bringing?

 

I will bring my laptop and xlights

pi player => FPD => (2) Falcon-16 baords => 32 strings of lights

20x120 flex 1809 strips mounted to 1/2" metal emt. I will lay them out on the floor and make a grid display

Dave Pitts 7' Candle made out of coro

Coro Star, 60 nodes of rgb inside

Maybe, I will bring my 9' (really 8' 10") Nutcracker

My 12' spider for Halloween
