The Color Mixing Christmas Light Project
Discretely Controllable DMX Driven RGB Pixels
Mrpackethead presents 84 strings * 42 pixels = 3,528 RGB nodes (10,584 DMX-over-ArtNet channels), synchronized and ready for a summer (down under!) yard party.
Madrix software runs on a quad core 3.4 Ghz Windows 7 beast of a computer.

Video clip #2
A collection of clips collected from around the Internet.
mrpackethead’s Comet Star is 5 meters (16 feet) tall and 2.5 meters wide. Each tube uses 48 DMX channels to control 16 nodes inside a translucent waterproof enclosure.
24 strings (folded in half) makes a 48 x 21 grid of light. Driven by Art-Net and a pair of E16 controllers.
Finally, the guys over at JS_Riddler.com (makers of some cool software which connects to an ENTTEC Pro USB dongle) sent over this demo clip:
If you’ve done something neat with your controllers and nodes, feel free to send over a link to photos, video clips and project information.
