I would assume based on your examples, that you do have music to go along with the sequences. Otherwise blinking lights without the sound means so very little to the viewer. In that case, you would need a player somewhere in the setup that is providing the music and either the sequence data or...

ESP32 with sdcard running ESPixelStick V4 could run your show without sound. If you want sound which I assume you do, you will need something with a decent sound card. A RaspberryPi running FPP is really the winner in that department.

I thought your timing on the effects was better. I found the colors on the faces distracting at some points like during the solemn part of the song. I like the no/dark outline but the pink? lips and yellow eyes were just a bit much for my tastes. Overall, a very solid effort. Time for next...

I think a 4mm is out of the question. You might be able to make your own but really hard to find an rgb addressable pixel that size. There is a smaller hat version at 5mm. Looks like the base might be the standard 12mm though I couldn't find the specs on size...

What is the exact symptom? It doesn't behave isn't very descriptive. Did you set the controller for more than 50 pixels?

Network cable is a good choice for data with ground

The F16V3 has DMX out that you use to drive the DMX2-24.

Data at six meters from a K8 may work provided good wiring. It might be at the edge of its distance. See here for another opinion: https://shop.allnetchina.cn/collections/quinled/products/quinled-data-booster However, power is a different situation. I do not understand what size wire you are...

xLights probably needs an update on its USB/Pixie 16 controller definition. Not a LOR or xLights guru but just playing with a USB LOR Pixie16 in Windows xLight (2024.08), it is very flaky with its allowed and not allowed. Lots of change something, save, click on something else, reload the...

Whatever you use to do your sequencing, you will have a lot of controller/wiring to think about. For example, maybe now you have 4 strands of lights plugged into each other and they stretch across the front of the building. Then you decide you would like a "4 count" of lights across the front of...

Amazon.com.au has outdoor speaker sets for under $100. Search outdoor speakers and here is an example. https://www.amazon.com.au/Pyle-PLMR24B-3-5-Inch-Weather-Speaker/dp/B0071I0Q5S/ But you could just as easily use indoor speakers inside the button box with some separation from the outside of...

Very few of those free sequences will have any sequences to support for your basic bunnings lights. You can run that controller in "classic" mode and it will act like a big 8 function controller. You can use Vixen or xLights to create sequences that will do single string programming and use...

It is very common to wire ground to ground when using a converter and 12v. As Martin would say "data and V- go together and join V+ V- as close to the pixel as possible". Of course there is the opportunity to connect 12v to ground and possibly let out the magic smoke but you could do that to...

I don't know if you have a good ground for the data signal to your pixels. You might try taking the ground off your level converter and connect to the ground on the pixels along with the 12v ground. Did you solder your connections or did you just put wires in the holes or did solder pins and...

Did you try the gamma lookup table generator? At gamma 2.0 it shows the output to be zero all the way up to 11. Move cursor right over the gamma line and it shows a little popup with the specific values. So, if you tell your R,G,B pixel to output 11,11,11 you would expect a very light white...
