🎄MEGATREE Update (2020) 🎄

LOL! That was a fun one, but all true! 😂

[@zoltankirsch287]

Jeff, thanks for your videos; not just educational, but also funny. This my first year. You mentioned your candy canes at the end ... I have 6 on the left side of my yard lined up in a shallow arch about 3' apart. Using gardening stakes to keep them upright and 40lb fishing line tying them to each other and anchoring the end ones to the ground. Even with last nights storms (40 - 60 mph winds) they were still facing the same way. Just thought you may be able to use this idea. Keep up the good work.

[@CanispaterChristmas]

Hi..can you help .I have a question ..do you cut off the power every night to the controllers or you leave on all the time?

[@CanispaterChristmas]

I turn mine off just to conserve electricity. It’s 200 watts or more just sitting idle. Personal preference really. Also depends on climate in your area. If it’s cold, maybe leave them on to keep things warm. If it’s hot, turn it off during the day.

[@fgmrendy]

@@CanispaterChristmas thank you

[@matthewwelch350]

Thank you for your videos. They got me excited about taking my light display to the next level. I'm switching from 10,000+ AC led lights to an all pixel display this year. I successfully ran a sequence on about half my display tonight and I am simultaneously relieved that everything is working together and terrified of how much more I need to get up and running in the next week. I wouldn't be anywhere near where I am without your videos and the sources you pointed me toward.

[@CanispaterChristmas]

Thanks! Good luck with it. Keep me posted!

[@lauramcdougal3952]

Jeff, how do you store all of your props over the summer? Do you have a spare "truck trailer" behind the house? Do you have an underground cave? Do you store your props in the attic? Do you store them assembled? Do you break down each prop assembly and store them in their Boscoyo Studio shipping boxes? Have you done a video on clean up and putting things away?

[@CanispaterChristmas]

I bought a 2nd house to put them in next door. jk. Most of them just roll up and either go in large trashbags or plastic bins or just sit in the attic. The arches are hung on the garage wall. I like to use stuff that can be stored easily. The coro props are are top of one of the other bins. Really, kinda wherever I can find space. :)

[@seantaray7180]

Watched your construction... nice... I use guy wires or rope in my static mega trees... just 1/8" nylon rope and cord adjusters basically a flat piece of plastic with 3 holes... and screw in ground anchors.. that way I don't have to be exact with the anchor placement... and I can just grab and pull on the rope adjusters to tighten or tweak as needed. and I made them 2 standard sizes so I dont have to match the anchor ropes to specific trees.. just long or short...LOL but thanks for the inspiration... maybe my next evolution of trees will be pixels.

[@CanispaterChristmas]

Hey, whatever works! haha.

[@mrcreedslights]

Thanks for all the great video's but before anyone else spends time grinding out the smaller flange on the star/tree topper side, you can instead use the same size flange on bottom and top and then use a handy plumbing item called a reducer to adapt the larger flange to a smaller sized pipe for the star/topper. The reducer has male and female threads and is quiet the time saver! 🙂

[@CanispaterChristmas]

LOL! Yeah, that would have been much easier.

[@ktdochristmas7781]

Thank you for sharing this! We added a large mega tree and found it hard to find information on how to make the guy wires. Showed us there is a use for the Pythagorean Theorem 😂 math teachers everywhere clapping 👏❤️🎄

I was successful in making a small show this year. Thank you for videos. You helped me in so many ways.

[@LoblollyLights]

What did you squeeze into/onto the floor flange? on your mega tree base? Also, is that floor flange? just screwed on top of the wood? I plan on making a base like this, but I think I'd like to drill a hole through the wood and have the floor flange on the bottom.

[@CanispaterChristmas]

I use lithium grease on it every year. You can get that at the big box stores. The floor flange just holds the pole in place during setup. The strings of pixels actually serve as guy wires so the base ring is more important to keep secure. I increased the height of the tree so I added guy wires which now provides the needed stability.

[@anthonysail2137]

What a wealth of knowledge. I've watched about 20 of your videos and ready to start diving in. Would you do a video of what you would change from how you started, a lot of new items are on the market. Like would you still use the falcon controller. Also, I didn't see a video of setting up your lights to the controller, how is this done. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, YOU GOT A SUBSCRIBER OUT OF ME.

[@CanispaterChristmas]

Thanks! Honestly, I'm always trying new techniques, string lengths, props, etc. Some work. Some don't and I replace them. I know there are other controllers out there, but I like the Falcons, they do what I need and support is second to none. There is a little Mac vs Windows thing wrt controller brand because they all basically do the same thing - convert E1.31 to SPI. I'm working on a setup day video now. Let me know if that doesn't answer your question about connecting pixels to the controller. And Welcome to the channel!

[@anthonysail2137]

@@CanispaterChristmas Awesome Cant wait for the video. Can you confirm this, The Falcon Controller has 16 outputs, The web site says it handles 1024 pixels per output but later says each output handles 6 Universes but that comes out to 3060 pixels per output. Can you help with this?

[@CanispaterChristmas]

The F16 has 16 pixel output ports capable of driving 1,024 pixels per port at 20 frames-per-second. If you run at 40FPS, that drops to around 640 pixels per port. If you add expansion ports, that splits that further. Not sure what the universe numbering has to do with anything so pretend you didn't read that. 😂

[@garysteo3398]

Hi Jeff what did you anchor the guide wire to on the ground side. Couldn't tell from the video great work as always

[@CanispaterChristmas]

That 's a long story I left out. I got some screw-in anchors, but we have so much rock just below the surface, they didn't work - couldn't get them screwed all the way in. I went with slanted rebar instead. It works, but I don't like it.

[@jamram109]

Jeff, is it recommended to combine the grounds together between the two power supplies at the box? I noticed in the video one PS for injection and the other feeding the Diff board didn’t share grounds. Looks like ground sharing will occur later down the line when power injection occurs.

[@CanispaterChristmas]

Technically, grounds will be shared on the mains side. However, if you use 2 power supplies to feed one string, it's a good idea to tie the grounds to make sure there isn't a chance of a differential voltage as the lights will flicker and, of course, don't connect the positives of 2 power supplies to the same string ever - always cut in the middle somewhere.

[@nickhale2900]

Jeff, have you seen the mapable string lights from "Twinkly lights"? They work in conjunction with a mobile app that plots the actual position of each led in the string on a tree. Can this be recreated in DIY form?

I can't say that I have. I'm sure it could be, but no time on my end to try to figure it out. 😂

how many amps does a string of 5v ws2811 pixels use a 30 brightness?

[@CanispaterChristmas]

Ballpark 20mA per LED. Typical calculation is 0.06 amps per node. Then multiply by 0.3 (30% brightness) to ballpark the current. Different strings are different so you need the specs on your pixels as 0.06 for 100% brightness may be too high.

If you aren't using a full string, yes. I use strings of 100 folded over at 50 so the they start at the bottom, go up and down. Pixel #1 and 100 are at the bottom of the tree so I don't have to cut anything.

If you're watching all the videos on KZbin, you don't need the course. It's designed more for someone trying to ramp up to speed quickly so essentially the same info. The Falcon doesn't support AC lights itself, but there are a couple of solutions for running AC lights with pixels. I did a video recently on some boards by David Peace. They look like WS2811 pixels to a controller and are probably the easiest way to add some AC lights to your pixels.

[@chexlemeneux4907]

Hey Jeff, hope all is well with your family and display! I've run in to a problem that I'd like to get your thoughts on. I have 3 candy canes utilizing 40 modules each (2 strands of 20 from Wired Watts). I have F amps immediately after the first and second canes and all was well until the night before last. The first strand on the bottom of my #3 cane only has 15/20 modules showing the effect. The remaining 5 aren't showing anything and the second strand of 20 are all blue. To me, this seems like a bad module causing the data to not get through. Since I do not have any extra modules, I should be able to cut out and bypass the #15 module in the first strand correct? Unfortunately, I don't have any other way of testing the modules so it's gonna have to be the "cut and pray" method and hope that #15 is the bad module unless you have any other ideas I may try. Thanks as always for the help!

[@CanispaterChristmas]

Yeah, sounds like a bad pixel. Maybe test #3 in slot #1 to see if they all light up or if the problem persists.

[@chexlemeneux4907]

@@CanispaterChristmas Thanks for responding. I ran everything through test mode and the cane still wasn't functioning properly. I tried a different properly on that port and it worked correctly. I didn't have a way to test the individual modules so I took a chance and cut out and bypassed the last module that was functioning correctly and it fixed the issue. Evidently the 6th module in the string had its chip go kaput! Anyway, aside from the 1 inch gap I have where that module was all is well now. Thanks again for the response.

Great video as always. I was thinking another easy way you could’ve done this was to buy the same size coupler I mean “flange” (lol).
