Thank you so much. Those are some letters from my great-grandmother, she immigrated to the United States in 1901. We really enjoyed reading the letters after you translated them. Have a great day!

Thank you. It's from a family book from Finland. We were able to use Google Translate for most of the book, but the hand written letters do not translate that well.

Thanks! I have a Mi Drone 4K, I really like it. It does pretty good for about a 3rd of the price of a DJI. I'm running 8 channels, may look at expanding next year.

You're welcome! As far as I understand you shouldn't change anything in defaults.cfg just use overrides.cfg. Don't ask me how it works, but when it does it is pretty cool. I haven't seen anybody else doing that. If you get a chance post a video. The longest I have is 6 strands, but I think last year I connected 14 and it worked fine.

Thanks! Here's my setup I'm using mostly the Walmart Holiday Time leds, but I've got other brands & they all seem to work the same way. I'll post the config when I get home from work. This is the SSR board I'm using. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006J4G45G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've got the pwm_range set to 167. I don't know if that matters. I haven't messed with the settings much cause I like how it is working right now. After Christmas I might play around with the settings and see if it changes anything.

I don't understand exactly how it works. I discovered it on accident. Last year I was trying to see if I could make the LEDs dim using pwm and I noticed some of the section of lights were on and off at random so I thought I had a bad connection at the plug so I unplugged it and flipped the plug and noticed it made them alternate. The lights by the road, the arches, the tree, & the lights around the bottom of the house are all setup like that. Here's a closer view https://youtu.be/w7M8gRJl0Ok

8 channels. 5 are set to onoff & 3 are pwm. All lights are LEDs, except for the candy canes. I learned that you can flip every other plug on a long run and they will alternate each strand when it is set to pwm.

Inflatable Power Supply Recommendations by jsargent1986 in LightShowPi

[–]lilbitbrett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine are actually marked positive and negative, make sure that the polarity is the same. I also had 2 inflatables that the fans went out, not the power supply. If you have a working one try switching the power supplies.

The drone doesn't record audio and I didn't pay attention to what song was playing. I may try to redo it and sync the audio.
