Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi all.   Its that time of the year again

This is my Christmas Lights for 2025.

I have used about 30 raspberry picomites controlling many WS2812 LED Strips and some picaxe controllers for the motion control in the carnival section.

2025 lights


Merry Christmas to all

Bill

I love Christmas lights.
Very nice display.

These Christmas displays always amaze me. We have nothing at all like this round here if you discount the occasional garden centre. Geeat work as usual, Bill.  :)

Brilliant as usual Bill,

It makes me want to travel interstate to see it.

I am curious, are they mostly PIC based or are they now PICOs?

I note that there is a bit of green lawn in front of the merry go rounds so I can’t wait for next years iteration.

Keep up the great work

Regards,

Mick (the big one)
