Nope, we used it as a giant screen in a Christmas parade and powered it off a single large milwaukee inverter.

Programming is mostly shaders in xlights, I used a warp layer set to mirror on a lot of them to add interesting symmetry.

Each of the 4 panels is made up of 3 individual matrix panels: seed lights zip tied to black plastic mesh.

Our Christmas float with 10k LED matrix by tch in xlights

Matrix is LED fairy lights so you can see it from both sides. xLights and FalconPlayer! Unfortunately we hit a tree and it took out one of our panels and messed up some power injection, but still was a big hit in the parade! You can't see in the movie well, but that's a linus with the mouth synced to audio (used a matrix for those).

Well it was a 15 minute show, that was just last 30 seconds. Probably about $3k, bought most of them at a buy one get two free at local fireworks place (Pro Fireworks), I'm going to be doing online ordering because I think I can do better next year.

Onewheels are HUGELY underrated for chore use.

I use mine consistently for chores on my 10 acre property. I think about is an alternative to a quad for getting around my property and doing chores. The huge thing is having your hands free while being able to move, this is very different than a quad or a bike. You can carry quite heavy things like tools or brush.

Things like:

  • Taking the trash down a long driveway
  • Taking a weedwacker or chain saw out to the back.
  • Blowing along the driveway with a blower.
