So it is Friday night and my kids ask me and my wife what are we going to be for the Pumpkin Ball at the school on Saturday. My first reaction was I did not know we were to dress in costume. So I answered a....... Christmas tree........with lights........that blink........to music........ Of course they thought that would be cool! So we picked a song (or my wife said try this....that will work). After dinner I started to sequence a 2 min song. I got most of it done.
Saturday morning day of the ball. Finished sequencing. Now down to the shop to build a MR16 board. 1 hour later all built and working. :) Now to try out my new LOR mini director I purchased during the summer sale. Programmed the SD card connected the IDMX.....no blinky.....or audio. Opps I used a wav file.... it needs an mp3. Quick fix load the media file and re-programmed the card. It works!!! Now to try it all on one 12v battery....it works. Off to Big Lots to purchase more battery LED's (I used 10 strings of 20). I modified the LED's by cutting of the 4.5 volt battery box off the wire and added a 50 ohm 1 watt series resistor. They all work!!! Now to find a "fanny pack" to cram all of this stuff it. It all fits. It is now about 4:00pm need to leave at 5:30pm. 5:00pm we start wiring me! 200 lights and a roll of Gaff tape later I am all wired. Out the door to the school. It was a hit! I told everyone to come visit our Christmas display! Next year........ add some wireless DMX and wire the entire family!
A rather unique project! Thanks RJ for the cool toys!
back to sequencing Christmas 2009.....or Bed.....hmm

I was worried about the dog for a minute when he walk up to your leg. I thought maybe you looked a little too much like a tree!

Thanks! It was fun! I think next year I will try multiple people and wireless. How to you think your wireless units will work with 12v input? or should I regulated the power down to 9v first. Thanks KEN
