if you guys are feeling the crunch, head over to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Aurorafileswappers/ for some sequences you can download. Edited by LightChristmas - 03 Sep 2008 at 12:08pm |

Nope. I just have an assortment of sequences, mostly imports or others' work, that I have used for experimentation, none of which have ever made it to my display. I've found it much easier to learn by importing others' sequences and experimenting on them, in addition to building my own from scratch. Here's some links to shared sequence sites to get you started: http://www.lightoramasequences.com/ http://christmas.kreepyhollow.com/Shared.htm http://www.lightsonlogan.com/sequences.asp http://www.lamagiedenoel.ca/Lightorama/lightorama.htm http://www.d-light.us/forum/viewforum.php?f=23 Edit1: Duh! Forgot this one! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Aurorafileswappers/ As well as some video to experiement with: http://www.christmasatthegoods.com/VideoCoop/
I spent all my time last year building/assembling my enclosures and tripling the size of my display, so I ended up creating an animation sequence (no audio file), around three minutes in duration, with only long twinkle commands. I then used the hardware utility to set a different twinkle rate for each controller. Then I set up Spectrum Player to play this "song" over and over all evening while I ran a playlist of Christmas tunes over the air with Windows Media Player. Voila! Nice random blinky-flashy with music.  Edit2: Okay, so I threw in some really long fades too, but it wasn't glamorous by any means! Edited by tonyjmartin - 03 Sep 2008 at 12:24pm |

no worries, since you are working on the forums is there a chance to add a "New Posts" button?
I love those,

I think he means he was just reconfiguring the forum topics - getting into adding buttons means he needs an extra stripe on his nerd badge. ;)
