Thank you very much. Very clear explanation.

Hi, I'm new and I've always dreamed of doing a light show. My question is, can I connect my Megatree and 4 or 3 Singing Trees from Elf Designer to this controller box? What does this mean when it comes to controlling it? 1024 pixels per output in 16 to 32 string mode. 704 pixels per string in 48 port mode. 1024 lights per port?

Ok I did the smash thing. I use both of those flakes. I also let the two extra pixels float without blackout goop. I just turn them off in the sequencing. I’m a LOR graduate. Thanks for the vendor suggestions.

So you the other board you just can use power injections on that board adding more power to the pixels to have more lights per port? I got 4 smart recivers from somebody isn't using them. I am depading to buy another controller or just go with the smart receivers. I love the box your using.

at time mark 9:16 you speak of uploading MP3 and lyrics to have it map it it together, how do you import/use in xlights?

What software were you using to do the layout and where did you get the pic to use, cool stuff

Well, this is embarrassing.... I tried it again connecting the Pi to the computer with the cat 5 cable and I missed what John had done with is go to the internet to enter FPP.local. It finally connected and showed me the page you were on!!! After 4 years, there is a renewed effort to finally get my P5 Panels to work. Thank you!!!!

Audio Spectrum!!!

Oh yeah. I always connect the antenna first before I power it on the transmitter.

Wow john storms

Like the bass🎧

Thanks for posting this! Can you please share what this setup would look like in the xlights visualizer?

I’m scared for your house being a potential fire hazard

13:36 . What your proctologist said

Play ball

Would this be the adapter to use on moving heads?

Hi John would I need this box for moving heads?

How does it take to set everything up like the programming and light effects or building up the equipment, also how does it cost for a beginner

John thank you for sharing your videos. I recently found your sequence share of Paint it Black. I wanted to reach out and say thank you for your time spent on it . I really enjoyed it. Also how many pixels will be in this years show?

Who’s in 2024?

How do you set up a f48 with SRx2 on a unchained port(29-32)?

I live in egypt and ac mains only has 2 wired. How do I connect my power supply?

Thought this had something to do with the F16 fighting falcon, was disappointed.

What in the Clark Griswold

Thank you. This video was very helpful in understanding smart receivers.

Well explained, thanks for the video. One question. As you stated, you did that in a safe way without endangering your lights so there really was no risk to implementing this same testing strategy with all the pixels at once, so why bother? Unless biasing these backwards would blow them given the voltages used. Is there an advantage to using 2, rather than just 1? Having 2 allows you to observe the data being passed along, but assuming you are feeding the data in the correct side, it should light a single one also. Regardless, the pixels can be salvaged for spares/replacement down the road, so it's no loss either way.

F16 Falcon: not just a 1980's fighter jet anymore. That gives me an idea. This new back-scratcher I invented, I think I'll call it the F-22 Raptor!

what fan do you have on your controller box?

Great explanation, I was debating on using this setup or using just the SR4. I like your setup better.

Got mine last week too. It is a good day indeed.

Love your content, man!

It looks light the both inner/middle singing trees need to be swapped with each other, I guess you put them on the wrong port.

love your stuff

i ordered 2 of them.

Great info.

Thanks for this info. I like having options for different configurations.

Thank you for the video. I have been looking for similar walk through and your was easy to follow along to.

hey John - great build. I've ordered the same due to wanting to run my controller in the summer to run some pebbles hanging from Water can into Flowers - wife wanted a light show! Did anyone use "Screen" material to keep bugs/ants out?

For the standard US outlet the switch should be showing 115 on the red switch correct?

LOL, My Alexa agrees with your Alexa on the math.

Love those. They are going to change how we do trees,shrubs etc.

The fact that you spend the whole year preparing the show shows how much effort you put into it and it shows!!! I been watching your show since 2012! ¿Also just curious… how better are these compared to the old school pixels from the early 2010s???

if you know what network your pc is set up for, why not just set the ethernet address to the 10.0.0.x network on the f48 initially, that way your pc is on the same network and you can just set up the wifi in the controller.

I love watching all your videos and your videos help me on my lights show display sometimes

Do you vent your boxes?

John all Bambo Labs filaments come on re-usable reels. So you can buy new filaments with reels or the slightly cheaper refill only and use one of you used up rolls.

We loved watching the video. We watch Disney videos all the time. ❤

I use my 3D printer to print out brackets for my power supplies also. Ingenious the way 3D printing has come out for us light enthusiast. Your use of the ammo box is different than mine but it all serves a great purpose of customizing our setups. Are you still using LOR for programming or did you go to XLights??

Really like those 4 ports on the V4. It's like a bonus built-in diff receiver.

This would 'interrupt your flow' a lot more than just pushing the second stick in to the ratchet gear 🤷‍♂
