Halloween display is over and set to be taken down when I have a free moment and dry day. I’m awaiting a shipment of addressable LEDs from China to expand my Christmas display. I’m putting together a ‘Mega tree’ this year in addition to the animated arches I made last year. Once I have the controller and layout setup, I can get going on the sequencing. I should probably find a radio transmitter too for the music.
- conesus 5y agoI’m interested to know which led ics are you buying. WS2813? What about the controller, are you DIY or off the shelf? I’ve been using SP105E as a controller but it doesn’t have smooth fades and it takes too long to write my own firmware on a custom board to achieve that for a one off.
- sircastor 5y agoThe strands I just purchased are WS2811 bullet pixels , with regulators to run on 12v. For the arches I used 2812Bs. In retrospect I wish I would’ve gone with 2815s - again for 12v. I have to deal with multiple voltages in my setup. I run my shows off of a Raspberry Pi - though I’m planning on integrating a teensy 4.1 to handle the tree.
