I had this thread going in the mods corner at the other site, thought I would bring it here.
I am sure most of you have seen this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TD4g0gmQSLk Well I have always wanted to do this and since I am in the process of building a home, I decided to buy the shit out of some christmas lights when everything was on sale after christmas. Well I started the purchasing. I am going after a fully controllable system that will be sequenced to music and will have dimming effects. I think I am going to start off with a 64 channel system to begin with and hopefully get it up a lot more in the following years. Basically I will have control over 64 strings or structures controllable the first year. I am going to transmit the music over FM so I don't have to deal with speakers. I will be building boards myself which is the most time consuming task. Yes, yes, I know it sounds like I am all full of christmas spirit, but I am doing it for evil reasons. I want to be the guy with best christmas house in the neighborhood, but also be the biggest asshole at the same time. Basically I am going to set it up to weird schedules, so no one really knows when it will be on and then other times have it look like it just isn't working properly. Maybe later have it play music that just doesn't go with christmas. My lights that I returned, found em a lot cheaper elsewhere. I need to get a new pic of the new stockpile. I got hundreds of strings of lights all for under $100. ![]() My controller board working: ![]() My controller box in process of getting put together: ![]() That's all I got right now, still got many months of planning, programming, and soldering. |

i have a house... i didn't build it... it was already there
there are some xmas lights on it... nothing to that extent tho... but i am not an engineer... so therefore, i cannot afford the electric bill that would ensue after doing such a thing. |

I did a kick ass story on that song in December. A local VoTech wired up the outside of their school to that song. I was a solid piece, in fact, my best work to date.

I can't wait to see how this turns out... it may be geeky, but it seriously bumped you up like 12 points on the cool scale (not that you cared
