Anyone have details on how they did the networking part of this?
I can think of several approaches (all using a single PC for all the IPv6 addresses), but curious which they chose.
- zamadatix 8y agoThis is a PDF presentation from how the original tree worked in 2016 http://mum.mikrotik.com/presentations/NL16/presentation_3994_1479721384.pdf http://mum.mikrotik.com/presentations/NL16/presentation_3994... I imagine it works the same way now just with the added x y coordinates.
- jsjohnst 8y agoYou sure that’s the right link? The presentation slides link on that page didn’t seem related. Edit: n/m, watching the video made more sense. That said, it wasn’t simply “adding the X Y coordinates”, the Christmas tree example didn’t use IPv6 or Ping, but I’m sure the process was likely similar. tl;dr They use a Microtik firewall which uses an rsyslog forwarder with an Arduino to control the Christmas lights.
