I am trying to locate the Gerber files for the SSRneon-G2-LED. I tried downloading using the link on this site but get a message saying

Hi Everyone, hope everyone had a nice, glitch free holiday display this year. Since its either been snowing or raining the last few weeks, I have not taken down my display outside. Now that the Chiefs are going to the Super Bowl, I would like to do a static display of the Chiefs logo on my mega tree, but have no idea how to do that in Xlights. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi Folks,
I am about to upgrade the RAM on my laptop in hopes that it may give me an advantage with the performance of Vixen. So my PC has only 4 gigs RAM. I am about to add up to 32 gigs. Does anyone here use Vixen for their shows with only 4 gigs of RAM on a Windows machine? (I have seen the Vixen system requirements documentation; 4 gigs bare minimum I gather.)
Thanks!
Take care, Joe ..read more

I am having a problem getting a long string to stay in the right color. I am a Newbie.
I have a Uno R3. The 2811 are 12V and I have a good power supply. The Arduino is powered by the USB cable.
If I make all my LEDs white it works good. If I try to make them blue it does not. The last ones either don't light or have the wrong color. I have 200. If I change the numpixels to 100 (leaving the other ones still connected) then the blue works. Why does white work and not blue? It is the same code, I just change from (250, 250, 250) to (100, 100, 250).
Thanks

Adding Super Short Throw projector over the garage. Plan is to move the low resolution grid videos to higher resolution via projection on the garage door. I know so far I will need a 2nd Pi player in remote mode and a virtual matrix. What I am not grasping is how timing effects will be coordinated with my Vixen sequences and the projected video? Was thinking I could have 2 versions on the video and use the low res on the grid to get timing down, and delete the grid video and trigger the projector video. What method in Vixen could I use to do this ..read more

I am decluttering my garage and have about 7 D-light fully assembled with all plugs and enclosure - all are operable however I only plugged them in - cannot even remember how to do blinky flashy anymore. 75 bucks each plus shipping if anyone is interested.
Would love to find a new home for these.
Can send photos if there is interest ..read more
