Less than happy. Having to rewrite the Sd Card for the show player. It’ll the off everything from previously, and I can’t recall if I saved / backed up everything.

Also, to top it off; looks like I may have a dodgy node on the house matrix panel. That’s going to be a pain if it plays up.

Day three and the back of the house is up. I can’t feel my fingers, back or legs but the big tree is up 👍🏻

Day 2 ish done. Had to battle with a potential avalanche filled with brain stabbing icicles first thing. Luckily the solar panel cleaning brush can in well handy.
The front secs are up, I think. Onto the garage and driveway tomorrow.

And so it begins. Got the two awkward window frames and flakes up on Saturday morning. Obviously snowed off this morning, but then reasonable progress from lunchtime. More up tomorrow and Thursday. Hopefully testing and fault fixing Friday. Knackered and worn out for Saturday.

And FPP is now stopped and shut down

Happy New Year everyone. He’s to a fantastic 2024 for one and all.

Hope to see you all in late November

So, exactly 4 weeks in I spot this - I obviously folding and tye-wrapped in the wrong place.
A rule I normally follow clearly went out the window.

Check, check again, cut, fold, tye-wrap and check again.

I blame the kids, they must’ve been nagging for me to feed them or other unimportant needy requirements they seem to come with 🤷🏼‍♂️…

It’ll be sorted before November 2024 🤣🤣🤣

From a faulty pixel or connector causing random rainbow patterns on the 3rd run of 50. To a replaced 5 LEDs and conector removed and all soldered up.
Bye bye random patterns on strands 21 to 24 👍🏻

Had to take down the P5 time to sign the other day. The weatherproofing had a bit of a wobble, and decided it wanted to let the rain in 🤦🏼‍♂️.
5 days later, lots of sealant and weatherproofing agent later, it’s back up and on 👍🏻
