  1. I had some issues getting the scrolling text to work right (that gives the phone number to text to start the show). But I think tonight I finally got it worked out.

    It's better with the music, but here's a short preview of the show.

  3. #projects

    I finally have all the #ChristmasLghts up and working on the house. This may be my first #electronics project that just works mostly thanks the #WLED and the Dig-Uno.

    Now I need to check out the WLED api and code up a cool light show! I started looking into #xlights but the website that hosts the help manual has been down for months.

    This is what I am planning to use for permanent installation when they come back in stock.

    Dig-Quad or Dig-Uno depending on how many lights you need. The boards are made by (but sold in the US by DrZzs). They run wLed.

    Not only does wLed easily integrate with Home Assistant but if you want to do fancier light shows down the road it work with xLights too.

  5. Finished my first prop and taught myself enough #xlights to get it working and synced up to a song :)

    Gonna be epic.

  6. I'm in that period of time with #xlights that everything in this years Christmas display is set and just needs finishing..

    So I've ordered the first item for the 2023 display.

  7. Getting started on #xlights and it is pretty overwhelming.

    Importing other peoples shows is challenging because they always have many more props than me so nothing lines up right.

    Would I be better off starting by making a few of my own first, get a better understanding of how the software works before trying to import?

  8. @nickt if I can just manage to get last years lights rewired and working with #xLights it will be a good year.

    This year is about setting a strong "safe" foundation

  9. Printed a bracket for my new Christmas light controller and PSU. It's going to be epic this year #xLights #xmas
