Title: 2014 Spring Tennessee Mini March 22
Post by: Dennis Cherry on February 10, 2014,
Well that time again to have another spring mini. 

This year’s theme will be: “The Great Light Fight” What works and doesn’t work.

We will discuss all aspects on putting together a great display from nuts and bolts to finished display. This is a great time for newcomers to ask questions.

Topics will range from:

Lights to use: incandescent, LED’s, RGB dumb and smart strings, Matrixes, mega trees, and Coro elements.

Hardware: basic controllers, new miniature controllers, E1.31, E682, dumb and smart controllers, etc.

Software: LOR, Vixen, HLS, Superstar, Xlights/Nutcracker

Construction of elements; Need ideas how to construct leaping arches, mega trees, spiral trees, Marty Fan, etc.

What’s new: Let’s talk about the new stuff

We will have some experience people with some of the best displays in Tennessee and surrounding area here to talk and teach.

My thread in the new member introduction forum has been locked...  Yay for the search function!

So I want to come!  I'm self-employed and am essentially on call 24/7, but if I can get a sub to cover me, I should be able to make it (if that's cool with you guys).

Will let you know when it gets a bit closer to the date...
