Showing off my Singing Christmas Tree from EFL Designs with star topper. Tree has 350 pixels, 300 in the tree and 50 in the star with a PVC exoskeleton for support and so the tree is free standing.
Your videos on the singing trees inspired me to do this project. I received four trees a couple of weeks ago and I am painting them now. I am planning to add them to the Christmas light show aboard the Navy base in Bahrain this year to bring a little more Christmas to the Middle East. What PVC part touches the back of the tree on the exoskeleton? Thanks.
I just wanted to say what a great job you have done with the tree. would you ever entertain an ideal of making a few for someone. I do realize it's a lot of work!
I’m just starting to learn so have a question. Does each strand of pixels have its own channel for the mouth movements or the border strand and each of the eyes?
Each individual bulb on the prop has 3 data channels. I have 7 strands of 50 pixels daisy chained for a total 1,050 channels. The xLights software takes care of all of this. In xLights I have a submodels of the prop. One for the outline, one for the star, then the mouth movements are mapped to a timing track.
The washers/fenders I put on the front I think I found at Home Depot. On Bolt Depot they would be: Fender washers, Stainless steel 18-8, Product# 2931: 1/4" x 1"
