How to wire a singing Christmas Tree 

Hey Sam. I agree with you. Xlights is a very robust piece of software, and it's free to use.

Thanks Eric. Uploading more next week. Hope you like them.

Hey Joseph. Thanks you so much for comments. I am also already making changes to mine. Thanks for watching.

Hey Ricci. Happy new year to you too. I am glad you are starting early in the year. It take time to get the right setup. You are going to love it. You too take care. Thanks for watching.

Thank you so much Jmblakeney1. And thanks for subscribing. I will continue to do more videos as long as there is someone watching them. Uploading some more by this weekend.

Hi Jake. Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.

I am very happy that you find my video useful. Thanks for watching.

@@trevilights Oh, thank you. Please visit my channel from time to time ^^ I'll come over from time to time. ^^

Thanks for watching.

Glad you liked it.

Hey Cody. Here you have it. I'll be uploading one about an LED Matrix soon. Thanks for watching.

Gracias Adn. Me da gusto que te haya servido. Gracias por ver mi video y si no lo has hecho aun subcribete. Vienen las videos muy interesantes. Saludos.

@@trevilights no tienes ni que decirmelo !!! YA SUSCRITO JIJIJI

Thank you Manu. Please subscribe. More videos coming. Thanks for watching.

Sorry for not getting back to you with an answer. Sometimes some of the comments are blocked by RU-vid. My show is all 12v. This voltage travels a little further that 5v. So you might need less power injection points. When It comes to how many power supplies It all depends on how many light you end up with. My show has around 7,000 thousand pixels and I only use one extra 12v 29Amp power supply apart from the one which is powerning the Controller and the V1 and V2 ports. This extra power supply is outside close to my props. You can get a better Idea of my power injection in the video below. Watch from minute twelve and a half. You can also see how much power my props are using so I can see if my power supplies are enough. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5JwPjoy9uWs.html

Thanks Robert. I have a piece a wood that goes from side to side holded by a couple of screws, then I used a couple of screw hoops to hold another piece of woods that serve as tripod. Two metal stakes and some zip ties hold the bottom in place. You can almost see it in minute 10:19

Not sure if any controller will work. Do a little research before you invest.

Que tal Miguel. Precisamente es mi siguiente video. Saludos.

Mr JJ. Welcome aboard. Thanks for watching.

Hey Ray. Have you seen my video of the Mega Tree Step by Step? That explains most of it.

Hey Ding Dong. Not sure if you have seen the following video. here I show some of that. Minute 5:00 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8W1vriknbB8.html

@@trevilights yes it is a great video - but it would be brilliant to se the full wiring if you were up to it?

@@dingdong9516 I am doing a new video on some singing light bulbs. It's the same concept. I will go in more detail on that one.

Thanks for subscribing. Here is the link. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8W1vriknbB8.html

I am glad that everything is working for you. Where is the pixels located? At the beginning, middle of end of the string? Can you try another string to rule out a controller setting? What number of pixel is ( i.e 50)

Check the voltage at end of your string. Could be a voltage drop.

Hello. You will need to sync the song lyrics to the movement of the mouth for each song. You can choose any song you like obviously but then syncing is done manually.

Hi. Thank you so much for for kind words. I would to love to help. Send me your contact information to ‘contact@Trevilights.com

Well. I made some numbers after building mine and they are charging you around $150 for putting it together for you. Box, cables, power supply and pigtails.

From what I have learned I am good injecting power every 300 pixels regardless of the element. The singing tree used 229 pixel so I am good if I only had 1 singing tree in 1 port. But since I have two in a row I am also injecting power at the end of the second element. So I have power at the beginning of the first tree coming from the controller and at the end of the second tree. Hope this helps. BTW, the power is coming from a second power supply sitting outside feeding my mega tree and singing tree.

Probably a bad pixel. Have you tried another string? You can replace that pixel from some leftovers ones.

Yes that is what I was thinking. Thank you you've been a great help

Hey John. I am not sure what kind of lights are those "Mini lights". In have only used addressable pixels. You may want to give them a call to get more information about them and how to control them.

Why don't you use ws2811 instead?

The Coro is drilled for 5mm led mini lights which are 120 volts. I will have 4 colors in the tree. Th excess of each color light will be tied together and covered so they don’t shine anywhere. All the colored strings will have a male end and have to be powered. I need to know how to control them and the equipment used. Thank you for helping me

@@johnjahner3389 Hi John. I am working on a video on how to control 120v lights using the DMX port of the Falcon controller. You will need DMX Relay Switch. They come in different sizes and price. I am planning to upload my video by tomorrow. For my video I am using a small 3 channel board. You are going like my video. Is a simple device and easy to connect. www.amazon.com/dp/B00R6DGSAK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_t7bcGbRBBWABX

Hola Ivan. Asegúrate que estes viendo el mismo modelo hay una versión que la boca tiene otra linea mas de luces. Tal vez sea otro modelo mas chico en altura.

@@trevilights tienes el modelo de 3 vocas o 4. ? El mío tiene 252 pixel

@@ivanosornio4706 229 Pixeles. 3 Bocas.

@@trevilights gracias por toda tu ayuda ayer pude hacer mis árboles cantar 🎤 por primera vez en séquencia me gustaría compartir el vídeo para que lo mires

Yes. Ws2811. Individual addressable.

Hey. It had never happened to me before. Just for fun, try another element like a snowflake. Might be some corrupted data.

@@trevilights ok will do. thanks for the response. what if it is a corrupted data, then what? I should also note that I am using win7 and dont plan to update to 10 unless absolutely needed.

@@ducebigalow8834 Things should get better once you get windows 10. If you cannot access the model just let me know. I can download the element you want and I can send it to your email. You can then import it manually. Win7 might not be supported.

@@trevilights yah one of these days I will have to move to win10 but just don't want to put that time in right now :) I will try again and see what happes. thanks for your help.

Seems to be working now? Maybe it just needed a reboot.

WS2811

Hey Meryl. There are many moving parts to this setup. Do you have a Falcon Controller that is already setup and tested? How many singing tree do you have? Have you tested the wiring in the trees? Have you played any sequence from xlights to test the communication between xlights and the controller? I know, too many things.

I have alphapix controller and have set up the xlights, model, sequences and wired my Coro. I have everything set up for 4 but have only wired 1. I want to test my sequences for just 1 controller hoping that I did everything correctly before I do a nose dive on the remainder 3.

Oh, and I have tested the controller from previous videos (not sure who made them). I think the only lacking tutorial is how to make everything work together and put it in a schedule.. or I might have missed it. Thank you again for everything!!

@@merylsoto2552 Great. I am going to assume that in xlights in the controller tab you have added your your controller IP address and universes definition. After you save this setup your should see a green light next to the 'Delete' button in this tab. This means that xlight found your controller. Controller must be powered. Open your sequence and turn on the connection to the controller by clicking the white lightbulb on the top right of the xlight icons. Its caption is 'Ouput to lights', it should turn yellow with a black arrow inside. If everything is fine you should see your coro light up. If not check your channel definition on your signing tree setup. Make sure those channels are defined for the port your are connected to.

Perfect! Thank you! I will try this one now.

Hello ! Thanks for watching my video. Boscoyo Studios has a large variety.

@@trevilights thanks

It comes like that, not much you can do.

@@trevilights Thanks for letting me know. I want to buy one but not if it's not spaced equally or symmetrical. Do you know anywhere else that sells these trees?

@@MichaelAuzDrillDesigns The model I used is discontinued. The new version is improved with more definition on the mouth. Chances are that the spacing is better. Now I do not feel that they are awkwardly spaced, when the trees are singing people focus on their mouth. boscoyostudio.com/product/chromacharacters-christmas-tree-4-mouth/

@@trevilights Awesome, I'll give them a try then. Also, excellent explanation video. Seems like your the only one to do this, thanks!

@@MichaelAuzDrillDesigns thanks Michael. Is worth to give it a try.

Sorry, but not me.

Will do. Every string of lights comes with two extra wires on each side in case you need to supply extra power. All you will need to do is connect them to a power supply. I left those loose because I do not need them since we are only using 229 lights. You will need to inject more power if you had maybe 500 lights.
