« on: August 08, 2012, »
Tennessee++ Mini:

We are going to have a mini in Cleveland Tennessee. Cleveland is just NE of Chattanooga

The ++ means the neighboring states are welcome.

Date September 15th 2012

Time: TBD (maybe all day and night?)

Place: Will be posted closer to the event. You will not be disappointed.

Food: TBD.

This will be an open meeting and the desires of people who show up will dictate what goes on.

Some of the Ideas we can cover are:
  1. S3 Sequencing
  2. Superstar
  3. E1.31/DMX setup problems or other protocol problems.
  4. Repairing LED Light string and learn how to find the bad LED.
  5. DIY kit building including programming your PIC’s.
  6. Learn Soldering.
  7. RGB Dumb or intelligent light strings.
  8. Just talk about anything.
 
Let’s hear from all who are interested and what you want.

Was curious if you had the ability to do this.  I attended a mini here in AZ and it was broadcasted live on the net.  An attendee was walking around with his laptop and camera showing different portions of the conversations and displays as they took place.  It was interesting to know that everything was being displayed for those that could not attend.

I plan on being there.  Was hoping to snag a friends cabin in Ducktown, but it is already rented out.  What kind of places to stay are around the area?  I am trying to convince my wife to come along.

There is several places, what are your preferences?

reasonably prices, safe location, within 10 miles of the mini.

I am aware that there are a number of hotels around the interstate exits, I just have not taken the time to look them up yet.

I think I have the wife convinced to come along even though she may sit in a chair and read a book.  If I could only get her interested in sequencing, but she is more interested in quilting.  LOL

Jim,
Just show your wife how Nutcracker could be used to develop quilting patterns. Then she could make you a 3200 pixel quilt for Christmas.

The wife is very familiar with nutcracker and she is the one that said "I want an RGB tree".  I might even have it done by the time the mini comes around.  The lights and controller have been tested, many nutcracker runs have been made, but I need to seal the ends of my flexstrips and get my physical mounting all figured out and completed.

Doug will have a 680 pixel GECE tree running for the Mini. Really did a great job on construction and wiring, uses a E681 to run it.
