Can one of you who have recieved the sequencing email it to me also? I am trying to put together a two 16 channel spiral tree. This is my first time using light o rama, or coding something like this at all. Help would very much be appriciated.

Sent you three plus music. If you would like to see it on the visualizer, I can also send the LEE file.

Dgrant,

Can you send me the files for the spiral trees and the LEE file. Had great success this year with my first show and will be adding two spiral trees next year. I like the idea of creating two trees with 32 channels each that only use 2 controllers in all. Thanks!

Email address is fourbusbees@yahoo.com

I don't remember which ones they were before but I emailed you one just now and the files with it, that easily shows the spiral trees.

Dgrant,

If your still up for sending some spiral tree sequences along with lee file I'd appreciate it as well. I did my first 16 channel spiral this year as well. Kind of a last minute thing, I just wired to same controller as mega tree for sequence flow and it look pretty good. Next year I was thinking of doing exactly as you did, two 16 channel trees and wire one opposite. It had me thinking though, did you mean you connect say channel 1 from primary tree to channel 16 of secondary tree etc. etc.? Wouldn't the flow of the trees be the same just starting one at top and one at bottom? Hmm, now that I think of it, it probably would look awesome!

If willing, please email to gmacw@hotmail.com. Thanks!

Actually what I did lets say, channels 1-16, spiraled on tree 1, say, clockwise, which connect to tree 2 on strings 17-32 counterclockwise and so on.

The one I'm send you all is a very simple "Music Box Dancer" which I use two strings to start with around the tree(s) then add in another 1 or two more in the second chorus and so on. Then I think I end up running them all but at least you'll get the idea.

Ahh I see now.   (bright light shines on dim head!)  :unsure: 

Just run strings in opposite direction

 

Thanks...

Both trees are identical...16 one direction and 16 the other. Then I just connected them electrically backwards of each other. Here is my onedrive link to the video so you can see it working

lol, very carefully....lol. Seriously though, if it was that tall, I'd be renting a man-lift bucket type thing from your local tool/equipment rental place. Let me add, use two people. One in the lift to hang the string up high and another below to walk the string around the tree and tie off to the base-ring. Be sure to calculate the length of strings needed for the number of turns you wish. I have a spiral string calculator that someone in here posted, in MS Excel.

Would I be able to get a copy of the spiral tree calculator?
