Been a bit busy since the last update. I finished testing and wiring up my DC strings that will be used. 4-5 Blue icicles to be hung over the garage and 5-6 white strings to be wrapped around the pole out the front.
Last weekend I quickly built a wooden frame to hold my P10 panels in place. Another member from ACL has kindly offered to 3D print some brackets for me to hold the panels in place in the frame. These should be here sometime this week.
With barely 4 weeks left until Dec 1st switch on, I decided to build a new element: a corflute Merry Xmas sign using the 5v pixel nodes I have bought.
You can find specific build details in this thread HERE but basically I've cut up some 3mm corflute sheets to size, marked up where the pixels will go and used a 10mm hole punch to make the holes. the sign will be in 3 sections with 3 letters each and this weekend should see me finish the wiring. We might paint the coro so that it looks more appealing during the day rather than just a giant 3m long white piece of nothing!

Still have lots of sequencing to do for the show, along with building the elements, testing and helping some other members with their music. I'm fixing up my old HP laptop so that I can sit on the couch in the evenings and sequence, just waiting on some RAM to be sent to beef it up a bit!
