Today I decided I should test the pixel elements before i mount them to the roof and front yard. Just as well as I found that all was not well with my channel setup within the xLights software. I realize that I've been testing each element (pixel strip roof outline, P10 sign & pixel node Merry Xmas sign) all separately. And whilst they each worked fine when I tested them, in doing so it threw out the channels of the previous element I worked on. Long story short, I had to re-configure the channel setup in xLights and behold, they all work!
Earlier in the week I finished off the P10 panel sign by adding cup hooks to the top frame and under the eaves out the front ready to hang. The frame I finished the week prior by installing the panels with the 3d printed brackets and removed the felt and spray painted the frame black
So now really all that is left is to get busy sequencing the lights to music and install the lights. I still need to get on the roof and silicone the zip tie clips down (wanted to today but we had a bit of rain in the morning so I refuse to get up on the roof when its wet)
Only NINE DAYS until Dec 1st switch on date so I best get cracking!
Also side note - I'm having a catch-up with my Corporate Affairs team at work regarding using my light show as a collection point for a great charity - more details when it's all confirmed :)
