Hey Kent, did you ever get around to writing up something? I'm looking to replace my 1 x 220px gutter line with capacity to scroll some text for this years display. Would love to know how you got the icicles to sit so nicely for text in the video you posted!
@uncledan yeah they sure did. I used that adhesive for now for a very quick test (it held up, temporarily), but I have a tube of clear silicon ready to go for the mounts come Christmas showtime!
I ended up giving the cable tie mounts a go, just with some strong double sided tape for a test.
I'll silicon them on per @djgra79 's suggestion in the long term.
Worked well. Leaving it up until dark so I can run some more tests.
Just need my pigtails to arrive so I can make extension leads...
I'm Michael, and I planned on having a crack a few years ago, and other than ordering an rPi-28D + Pixel Tester from Alan, I never got around to much more. I think I posted a introduction message back then, but I figured it's been so long I might as well do another.
My wife and I built a new...
Thanks everyone for the tips.
pookie, I'd love to come down to have a look and hopefully bend your ear a little!
I've started to order some gear this morning so I can start playing.
G'day,
A bit of back story from me... I've been doing basic Christmas lights since my girlfriend (now wife) gave in about 4 years ago. Our current house has a fairly big and bushy front yard, so I was unable to put my lights up last year, and wont be able to this year either.
We're building...
