Even just the star and fairy lights looks good.
Added 2019-11-27 03:47:33 +0000 UTCI think I may end up spending a bit of extra time programming this thing with scenes.

When I was at school in the 70s, I used to build Christmas tree lighting controllers using a 7-segment counter/driver IC (4026 etc.), then later with 2708 EPROMS.. A friend and I are currently building spot-welders out of old microwave transformers and I just finished building the timer module with a 4-digit display and rotary encoder using Arduino Mini Pro modules - it's almost too easy.. Ah for the good old days...

2019-11-27 21:48:12 +0000 UTCWhat's the brain behind this creation? I may have missed it in one of the earlier posts. Great work by the way, I was thinking of doing a similar thing with the ubiquitous neopixels for my office door decorating contest.

2019-11-27 17:32:01 +0000 UTCThats freaking amazing, Clive.. Wish it was in a store so I could pick a couple up :D

2019-11-27 13:35:14 +0000 UTCThere is a spare pin input pin, so it could have a dusk sensing function. With a bit of clever filtering and timing software it could also detect the length of the night and calculate an automatic turn off time so it didn't run all night. In this application it will be used during the day and turned off each night.

2019-11-27 11:43:07 +0000 UTCChristmas lighting was part of my career for over 20 years. Not quite as complicated as this panel though.

2019-11-27 11:40:26 +0000 UTCAwesome work Clive! Is there a spare pin to add an LDR or something? It could take a little less current in the dark...

2019-11-27 05:07:53 +0000 UTCI would place one like these instead of a real three.
2019-11-27 04:57:40 +0000 UTCNeeds lasers! And strobes! 😆

Big Clive
2019-11-27 04:23:28 +0000 UTCThe white lights look like snowflakes. Is that one huge string or can you animate them to make them look like they are falling? Very cool as it is.
