Ho ho ho!OK, I changed my avatar. That's about at Christmasy as I get.
One of 'em.Hey @Vaquero, that's a cool hat your wearing .

Out of pocket!What does a Christmas ornament have in common with Jeffrey Epstein? Neither one hung themselves.
Trendy…others just won’t understandI decided that I should put out the Christmas decorations. It took a lot of time but I think that it was worth the effort.
It's not pretty, but it works. This is the controller box I built for the Christmas lights setup I designed and built. Running on a Raspberry Pi 3 along with Arduinos and ESP32 WiFI modules. It controls 1500 individual lights all choreographed to 8 different Christmas songs. Broadcast on FM to people's car stereos to tun in plus waterproof speakers on the lawn for people who want to walk up to hear it.
The box only took me a few hours to build, but each song took 4 to 6 hours each to get the light sequence down. The tree took a few days to build and wire up. I have to put it all up tomorrow.
