Wow rick, sounds like a great setup.

Any problems using the pi player to run this?

I am going to modify the  original post. Maybe people could include total channels, the sequencer they used?

I will make a post for my show to clarify.

Thanks Sean. We all like to see our ideas come to life and blink and flash.

I ran out of time so, to get the show up and running, I ran the Pi in bridge mode and drove it with the Toshiba laptop using xLights/Nutcracker. It ran flawlessly for the entire show schedule.

The plans are to have the Pi run the whole show this year.

Rick,

A lot of your display sounds interesting.   Yes I would be very interested in how you built some of them.

What are "eve tubes"?
Do you have a link for pictures or videos for your setup?
