DLA Freestyle gets Grand Champion at Berrien County Fair
« on: August 28, 2011, »
My 10 year old daughter Abby built a barbie scale sound stage for her electrical project for our county fair.   The stage is based on a DLA Freestyle controller and hand built RGBW mini lights built into 1" PVC pipe caps.  Abby did all of the cutting, drilling, soldering and assembly.  I helped by soldering the mini-trusses.  She wanted no part of the torch :)!  Each of the lights has a cat5 pigtail to plug directly in to the Freestyle.  She programmed a musical sequence with Light O Rama and borrowed my iDMX and Mini director to run the lights at the fair.  I ordered a small cheap DMX light console from Ray to run the lights after the fair.  She received a grand champion ribbon for her division and then and a grand champion over all technical arts and got 2 trophy's!   I hope she will still help me assemble the 10 expresses I have to build for the Christmas display.  i guess I am getting the addiction started early.  My other daughter Emily built a lamp using a 1928 electric meter she got reserve Champion!
