Project xLights


Project xLights


I am putting together a video to show that many light show enthusiasts use xLights all over the world. Just to make it more interesting, I am going to collect videos from various displays of the same song, and mash it all together. Since Logan Carpenter's sequence has been so popular, I have decided to use "Can't Stop The Feeling" by Justin Timberlake



For those that have a Tree Quartet, I have also converted his sequence into a good quartet sequence and made it available for download here.

Logan's original sequence files can be found here:

Request:
1. Please share your video of your show playing "Can't Stop This Feeling", including your location (example: Auckland, New Zealand) via YouTube link to me on Facebook or as a comment on this page.
2. Please take a quick video describing your show and use of xLights while the show is running or at your computer. Also, talk about your favorite features of xLights. Video will be edited down.

Timing:
Videos will be put together between Christmas and New Years, with a video release for the New Year.



Quartet - Christmas With a Capital C


Here is a quartet sequence for "Christmas With a Capital C" by Go Fish. This was originally done with xLights then brought into LOR. I have included the xLights files, and the graphics I used can be downloaded for free.

These is a starter sequence for a quartet. If you have other elements, you will need to sequence those parts yourself, but this will save you a lot of time for the main part, as I have done the vocals.

Yes, I am selling these files, as it took a significant amount of time to create and sequence. I am willing to share some of my content, but not when I have put as much work into it as I have, with the singing character parts.

SainSonic FM Transmitter Modification

I am really happy with my Sain Sonic FM Transmitter for my light shows, however I am not very pleased with the antenna performance. I also discovered that the company that makes them gets around the FCC requirements just like the WiFi makers did by using very hard to find RF connectors (RP-TNC with the threads flipped). So, in order to get effective use of the transmitter, I needed to build my own antenna and change the RF connector on the transmitter itself. 

As for building the antenna, you may notice the 50 Ohm indicator on the connector part of the case. This is the Impedance output of the transmitter, so you need to have an antenna with a matching impedance for max efficiency. 

You might be able to get away with using a standard FM Dipole Antenna used for FM receivers, but understand that it won't work as well unless you use the 300 Ohm to 75 Ohm transducer. 

A DIY Antenna might work better using 50 Ohm coax, and creating a dipole with speaker wire like I did here.  Dipole calculators are available online, but here is an example to help you calculate your dipole length for an effective antenna. 
The RP-TNC with flipped threads
De-solder the RF connector from the board
Panel Mount BNC connector
Short 50 Ohm coax between the connector and the board.

***Just a note, a friend of mine used a standard 300 Ohm FM Receiver antenna with his Sain Sonic, using 50 Ohm Coax to the antenna, and he was getting a Half Mile on Low Power.
