First Show Success

I would also like to know about your trees.

Did you buy the pre-made trees and add pixels to them?  If not, did your guy make those too?
Is that strip or nodes or ?


BTW, very nice display and great programming.  I hope I can make mine look as good as yours.

Thanks!

As far as the trees:  they are just the basic spiral trees you can pick up at Home Depot.  Stripped the original lights, and added the standard nodes.  The spiral trees have a "railing" that the nodes slip right into, so it worked really well.

Another question for you is what type of pixels do you have on the house outline?  They look like nice big bulbs from my perspective.

Thanks

Nice job!
Do you have to use that many raspberry's for a show like this?  Can you not run the entire show from one?  I don't know Im a noob and just trying to learn.
Thanks

I use multiple Pi/PhHats mainly out of convenience (as they're relatively inexpensive).  For me, it's easier to drop a Pi wherever I need it (roof, other side of a driveway, far side of my lawn, etc), instead of having a central controller and trying to figure out how to get data run everywhere.
