The Porch / RRowan's Color Picker...
« on: October 23, 2015, 05:21:31 pm »
...isn't on the Wiki anymore. I'm using a new computer and can't find it on my old machine.
xLights/NC is great for effects, but I need some oranges to match more closely and to my knowledge the Color Picker is the best tool for the job.
Thanks,
MMS

The Porch / Re: It's over

My whole show is still up. Until recently I had a glacier on the lawn (house faces north) which makes it hard to remove things. My hope is to get things done this weekend (weather pending.)

The Porch / Re: Looking for input or suggestions on pixel tree plan for next year.
« on: December 31, 2014, 10:47:52 am »
I live on a corner so *IF* I were to make a pixel tree, I would do 270, otherwise 180 is sufficient for most applications.
I also agree with making the base smaller. My mega tree (not pixel tree) is 12 feet high with ~6 foot diameter (ring is made of two 10 foot pieces of electrical conduit inserted into each other).
Taybrynn's tree is nice and looks very "clean". The nodes are in PVC and attach to the metal frame. It scrolls text and pictures no problem. The videos don't do it justice.

Great work as always!
I mentioned to you privately how much we enjoyed your show. You definitely had the best use of a RGB matrix/mega tree that we saw (IMHO.)
Will you video the voiceover(s) at some point? Would love to add it to my "portfolio."
Can't wait for next year's!

Lynx Express / Re: Any idea why an express might get stuck with channel on?
« on: December 08, 2014, 12:06:31 pm »
Mine did that once this year... I was testing one LE, then when I reset it, they all came on. I haven't seen it happen since, so I didn't think much about it.

The Porch / Re: Rabbits are destroying my show before I even get started
« on: December 03, 2014, 12:51:16 pm »
I have had good luck with Liquid Fence too. I used to have bunnies living under the bump out of my house. They still frolic and crap in my yard, but I haven't had any damaged cables this year (knock on wood!) The ingredients is interesting. I'm sure if you wanted to, you could probably make a similar home made concoction. But, time is always of the essence.
Can't wait to see/hear your show this year!

The Porch / Re: To light or not to light b4 thanksgiving and 2014 Videos
« on: October 27, 2014, 09:49:32 am »
I start my Christmas show the Saturday after Thanksgiving that way I can make any last minute adjustments during my "time off". The beautiful thing about doing a Halloween show is that my arches and window frames are already in place and it's just a matter of assembling my mega tree and putting other small Christmas-related things out (I start that process in early November.) Luckily the weather here in Colorado has been very light-friendly this year!

The Porch / Re: What scheduler is everyone using?
« on: October 21, 2014, 04:57:47 pm »Ok guys thank you all for the replies.. I'm not using pixelnet yet so i just need a basic one for Lynx expresses. Last time I used xlights i had a couple of problems with my show not starting but that was 2 years ago.
They've done a lot to xLights in the last 2 years. In my opinion, it's easier (and more reliable) now. Sean and the xLights/Nutcracker team provide great support. And if need be, a lot of people on the forum(s) would be able to help you troubleshoot.
