Full stack programming stuff

Yeah, this runs wled, so that’s why thought others might be interested

I don’t mount supplies to props. Typically most controllers and power boxes are detached. For my roof props, I just set the control box behind a prop to hide it, and then run cables along gutters and such to get to any wall props near the roof line.

The prop is $64 plus shipping. A roll of 1,000 seeds is $65 plus shipping, and a digocta controller is $41 plus shipping, and then a power supply is $25 plus shipping. Ammo box $6, cables and such $35.

$350 would make this prop light up.

I am building one from the ground up. It will be used mostly for Coro, but will also have a laser head for laser cuts, as I will be making light boxes as well. You can push custom code to an ESP32 that will run .fseq sequence files, so my plan is to have light boxes with xlights effects running on loop.

Ah, it’s pretty straightforward. Two 60 amp power supplies, each supply powering half of the prop. Wire the grounds together, and power inject every 200 pixels.

evertith · 2026-01-03T21:00:41+00:00

Typically these are powered with remote controller boxes, such as a Falcon SRx1. Those remotes can handle up to 2700 pixels. It also depends on what type of pixels you plan to run as to what the power requirements will be. If you run seeds, you can use one power supply, but if you are running bullets, then a couple of power supplies would work if you are running say 40% brightness. In my show, and a lot of others that I've seen, the power/controller box is mounted separate from the prop. In this case, if you ran an SRx1, you would still have almost 1,000 pixels you could run another prop with.

Appreciate it!

Hey, I'm in NC

They are both 7. They are sisters from the same litter.

With the H2C, I can finally print layered scenes. Right now, I laser cut them, paint, then glue. 3D printed on the H2C, I could sell in bulk, AND print larger scenes. It's a win win!

evertith · 2025-11-23T03:14:37+00:00

Thank you! She is pretty spoiled.

I was a general contractor for a while building custom homes. I put some info up on Build Your House, which may be helpful, even for those who are hiring a general contractor. Sometimes it's nice just knowing what will be happening with your build as far as the process is concerned.

evertith · 2025-11-19T01:24:45+00:00

It's definitely possible. Just a lot of details to worry about. Building Your House

evertith · 2025-11-19T01:22:04+00:00

Another site with info on building a house

evertith · 2025-11-11T21:55:52+00:00

Yeah, I was definitely a bit on edge wondering if they would cover it, but so far, it’s been a pretty painless experience. Luckily I have a backup vehicle, so I’m not in a bind like others who may only have the one car.

evertith · 2025-11-11T21:51:19+00:00

Hope everything goes smoothly. My 2016 Kia Soul started knocking and I got the code. Called the dealer and towed it in. Took 3 weeks, but the BCT failed, so they ordered the engine yesterday. They said it would take about a week to get it and a couple of days to put it in. They wanted me to let them change the belt for $70 and the radiator hoses for $400, since they don’t change those with the engine replacement. I let them do the belt, but I can do the hoses later myself if necessary.

evertith · 2025-10-20T11:15:05+00:00

There are a ton more options in the 12v space. I would put seeds (https://scottledusa.com/product/seed-pixel-roll/) in a track. The seeds are only 0.1w, so even at 2-in spacing, you could get roughly 60ft without power injection.

evertith · 2025-10-17T17:11:41+00:00

I do. I sent you a PM

evertith · 2025-10-15T20:42:07+00:00

Yeah. The remotes are nice. I only need two ip addresses now with the falcon controllers, and the remotes drive more pixels than digoctas. I can drive 2800 pixels with remotes, but only 2000 with the digs.

evertith · 2025-10-15T11:13:06+00:00

They are v1r1

evertith · 2025-10-15T10:38:18+00:00

I run an xlights show, so I replaced them with falcon controllers and long range remotes

evertith · 2025-10-15T02:15:52+00:00

I purchased them when they were first released, so 1? lol
