I have blinky flashy

[magic8192]

I have all the pieces working and I was watching my lights flash last night.  What a great feeling to finally see something.   I was only flashing 1 channel because my cords haven't come in yet, but that was enough for now. 

I was playing around with Vixen last night and imaging what I was going to see this Christmas and it is going to be great fun!

Thanks for all the help so far!!  Lots more work to do

ALRIGHT!  Glad to see another successful builder! What were you blinking with (express,FS,SSR4) ? I think I just mailed some Expresses to you.

You did just email some expresses to me.  I will have 160 channels, 10 LE, this year by the time I get all the boards.

After Christmas, I shopped for lights and went everywhere getting lights, I have learned to solder and learned about electrical terms that I had no idea about and have been building weird contraptions from PVC.  People look at it and think I am crazy. 

My wife rolls her eyes when I talk about Christmas lights, but seeing things start to come together even had her excited about it.

Congratulations.
That first Blinky is very exciting. It only gets better and  more addicting from there.
I am trying to convince my wife to get rid of cable TV because I don’t have time to watch TV any more. Blinky is so much more fun.

Now stop playing and get back to soldering. LOL

I have been thinking about it for a long while and  I have wanted to do this for several years now.  Something has always gotten in the way.  I saw my first real blinky flashy display in person in Nov 2008.  I stood there with my jaw open and the hair standing up on my arms and the back of my neck. 

Without the help of you guys and Planet Christmas, this wouldn't be possible......... Go big or go home.

Go big or go home.   

My thoughts on it also!!!!

  That is it.  I have decided that my show this year only has 2 possible outcomes.  It will be a brilliant success or a miserable failure.  No real middle ground.
