Pixicles initial test run
Posted by: daviddth99

Video duration: 121 seconds

The initial test build and run of my 2012 icicle replacements called pixicles. 5V 2801 Pixels, in this case 150 of them as a test, 6 rows high and 25 wide. The final item will be 150mm horizontally between LED's and 100mm vertically, but the type of pixel has yet to be decided, but the side-entry pixels would be better suited for this design

	240V Silhouette upgrade test Posted by: daviddth99 Video duration: 65 seconds A test upgrade of a 240V window silhouette as used in 2011 for the display. The old 32 watt 240V string was replaced with RGB LED's drawing just 8 watts max, a huge saving over 20 items used last year.

Stellagreens and Minitrees
Posted by: daviddth99

Video duration: 46 seconds

Stellagreen pixels strung across the roof of the shed running a test, and the 4 completed RGB minitrees also being tested. Driven in a simple test by Vixen 2.1, the 4 minitrees actually reflect the actions of 4 of the stellagreen pixels.
This was not a test of the Stellagreens, but instead a test of the Chinese RGB lights used in the Minitrees

	New LED minitrees Posted by: daviddth99 Video duration: 43 seconds LED Minitrees driven by Vixen. There are simple 100 string RGB LED's driven by a DMX controller at 5V. At the moment the LED's were driven at 100%, but tests show that 100% is too bright to blend in with the display at the moment, as 10 of these in close proximity will be VERY bright

	Stella Star Demo Posted by: daviddth99 Video duration: 128 seconds 150 RGB pixels totaling 450 channels. Driven by a Stellascapes E16 and Vixen 2.1. This video was taken inside and shows a slightly expanded video of what the star can do.
