How to make leaping arches for your Christmas display

[@DennisWarner]

Nice work. Did you stick the leds down or are they just sitting in the pvc

[@stevebrookins3980]

Awesome! Thanks! I think i might try these now. I just have a mega tree now.

[@TmCkellar7]

Looks great!!!

[@corinnejames3254]

They look great!

[@ronm6585]

Looks good, thanks.

[@poolman8676]

Too cool. Would love to get into this

[@bpmunroe]

looks cool, but how do you store it? 16' is kind of long for storage

[@jacobburkett]

What did you use for the house lights? Do you have a video on that?

[@DIYD_Do_It_Yourself_Dad]

Yeah check my channel I have a full how to video on the house lights

[@soundzxtreme]

So do you have all that running through a software system on a computer? Or is it an app on your phone or what? I've been looking into purchasing new lights but I'm not good at the laptop/computer stuff. At this point I'm about to spend a grand on govee lights so I can make a show on the app.

[@DIYD_Do_It_Yourself_Dad]

For basic patterns and colors you can use an app called WLED. For more complex shows synchronized to music I use a software called Xlights

Can you connect tow 16 strips together?

[@DIYD_Do_It_Yourself_Dad]

You can connect multiple strips but you’ll need to power inject along the way

[@noush4283]

I have to check how to I am new at this

[@izzywolf1022]

What effect is used at end of video?

[@ibegambit]

Could the pvc be used for the strips on the house?

[@DIYD_Do_It_Yourself_Dad]

Yes I suppose so.

[@realmiraclesandhealings]

Amazing talent

[@kennethbutler8271]

as pvc is prone to uv degradation have you put a clear coat of spray paint on your piping ??? and has it worked ???

[@DIYD_Do_It_Yourself_Dad]

No I have a new setup for this season

[@Robbie822100]

@@DIYD_Do_It_Yourself_Dad What's your new setup?

[@garyambrose]

You're using 2 channels on the Dig Quad for this? If so, how does the effect work where it goes from left, to right from one strip to the other strip? Are the strips "grouped" in some way in xLIghts?

[@DIYD_Do_It_Yourself_Dad]

I explain in the video how I have it setup for wled. I haven’t used Xlights on them yet.

[@garyambrose]

@@DIYD_Do_It_Yourself_Dad I understood that you have 2 strips setup, one in reverse, and they're on 2 channels. One of the effects appears to be using both channels where it's leaping from string 1, to string 2 (the one in reverse). I was asking how that was accomplished - are the 2 led strips grouped somehow in wled then?

[@DIYD_Do_It_Yourself_Dad]

@@garyambrose yes so I tell wled how many LED’s are in each channel and how many channels are active. The effects will run through each channel in order.

[@hackerchickenYT]

How did you bend the PVC?

[@DIYD_Do_It_Yourself_Dad]

Very carefully 😅. I also used a heat gun.

[@c0pyimitati0n]

I bet youi'd be better off using clear poly tubing

[@BJAMIAM1]
