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 and marry Christmas to all.

Here is the latest video of my light display.

The carnival is the main attraction that all the local children love.

The new addition is the DRONE ride. This is controlled by a picaxe 28X2 as the main controller with a 14m2 controlling the
operation of the seat rotation.

Also there are four PIC32MX170s controlling the LCD and strip LED lights.
One LCD backpack and 3 of BigMicks 170 boards.

All up there are three high torque 12v motors and four worm drive motors for the seats.

Also the sign is new, this uses the 64 x 32 LED display
and Peters RGB Driver.
