POW!
Added 2019-11-16 23:28:14 +0000 UTCLookin' good. I'm using a proper industrial grade Meanwell power supply, so I adjusted the voltage down to 11V to give the LEDs an easier life. It's still very bright though.
Current draw at 11V is 3.2A
Now to decide what I'm going to do with the other ten control channels.

LED neon strip as featured in a recent video. A very linear strip that runs on 12V and can be cut roughly every 25mm/1".

2019-11-22 01:51:54 +0000 UTCWhat are you using for the LEDs?

2019-11-22 01:31:08 +0000 UTCI've only got two channels left at the moment. I'm wishing I had more for baubles now.
Big Clive
2019-11-20 14:51:01 +0000 UTCTen more channels? Time to get your baubles out!

2019-11-18 15:19:25 +0000 UTCYes it will be using that controller.
Big Clive
2019-11-18 00:20:44 +0000 UTCIs this using the Dept of Villainy LED neon controller ? Looks great

2019-11-17 16:27:43 +0000 UTCLooks good.
2019-11-17 14:05:26 +0000 UTCNo dangling balls?...... You could add a few and tie up some channels for effects.
Chris Muncy
2019-11-17 13:11:50 +0000 UTCToying with that. Any offcuts can be used because it's the 12V stuff that can be cut every inch/25mm.
Big Clive
2019-11-17 10:56:21 +0000 UTCI like that, nice shape
2019-11-17 10:06:50 +0000 UTCCould steal that idea and get ten meshes and make a giant nixie tube.

2019-11-17 04:56:54 +0000 UTCLooks great. I think you should add "ornaments" made from the remains (assuming not all made it to the trash bin) of things you have taken to bits over the last year. Or perhaps adorned with various LED creations.
2019-11-17 02:52:56 +0000 UTCI love this time of the year because LEDs!!
2019-11-17 02:41:30 +0000 UTCmaybe a "Holiday Inn" style of star... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0rmGa3nSoE

2019-11-17 02:36:58 +0000 UTCHow about animated face , warm white led pupils that look forward most of the time then up left and right at random, t shape board with 4 leds each, then the mouth can be green neon with three bottom lip movements to simulate talking, again random

2019-11-17 01:59:17 +0000 UTCPow is right! I can see it from my house.
2019-11-17 01:58:56 +0000 UTCAnother Scrooge here. I would like to see dotted lines out of the obtuse (outer) angles of the star to show a "twinkle"; maybe two per angle. Could all be rigged to the same timing so I guess that is just using a single channel. After that, as others have said, a couple of baubles per "layer"; again, run off a few channels sharing. Maybe use the last channels to add a cutesy prancing deer :P
2019-11-17 01:23:07 +0000 UTCLove these live blogs.

2019-11-17 01:19:48 +0000 UTCThat looks great brother!
2019-11-17 01:09:29 +0000 UTCI'm with the others, use what's left to add decorations. I really like the tree, it came out great.

2019-11-16 23:57:07 +0000 UTCThat looks purty, Clive. If you are looking for things to do on the other channels, what about twinkling LED clusters as ornaments?
Honorary Octopus
2019-11-16 23:53:04 +0000 UTCPut an array of LED's in a matrix display inside the lower section and animate christmas critters walking past the tree?
2019-11-16 23:48:20 +0000 UTCNice... I'm quite the Scrooge but gotta say that is cool.

2019-11-16 23:32:43 +0000 UTCbaubles of different colours and mayb little presents with bows
2019-11-16 23:32:00 +0000 UTCPow indeed
