I just joined this forum from the DIYChristmas forum. I'm still a noob with more than a few ideas but not a real good idea of how to implement them.
My goal(s): 48 channels running off of an Arduino UNO with 595 shift registers. NO DIMMING
I am using just plain ole string lights, no pixels.
Oh yeah, one more thing: I am using a MAC and I am not going to use parallels, boot camp, wine or any other option that requires that I "infect" my computer with Windows.
Someone recommended xLights/Nutcracker as a sequencer so I thought I'd give it a try.
I hope everyone can bear with me as I try to figure this stuff out. 8)

we have people who run linux or mac.
get a copy of the sources
https://github.com/smeighan/xLights
and read the README.linux and README.osx to see how to compile it.
xlights can sequence non rgb, but you dont have a grid like vixen or lor, you define a model and then drop effects on it.
