Q11 Installed

I installed one of the new controllers, Q11 in the network today. I also finished running extension cords from the bells and the music tree to Q11. Now I need to finish the music synchronization now that this controller is online. I hope that won't take too long.

I also installed a few lights in the backyard where needed. The show is just shy of 60,000 lights.

Controllers are Here!!!

Finally, the controllers are here. To my surprise, they supplied power cords for all of the circuits. This is nice except that I have already built light controller boxes with household outlets just like past controller boxes. See the technical information section on my website. Oh well, I'll use what they sent since the power cords are already attached to the circuits.

More Disappointment From Animated Lighting

Well, Animated Lighting did not ship the controllers yet. They promised to ship them today for next day delivery at their cost. I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Installation Almost Done

I installed another 3,270 lights all in the backyard on the deck and the landscape. I just have the four Austrian pines left to decorate. I may get to that tomorrow depending on if the controllers arrive tomorrow. Yes, they were not delivered yesterday. I will call Animated Lighting tomorrow morning to see what's wrong this time. Maybe I should travel to Kansas City and pick them up. I may get them faster!

I updated the website today with more information and full versions of the scene songs. Check it out.

Anxiously Frustrated

Well, it is almost noon on Saturday and the controllers have not arrived. I thought shipments on Saturday arrived around 1000. I hope I'm wrong and the shipment will arrive soon. In the meantime, I will try to program as much of the music synchronization as I can. I had hoped to premiere the new show this evening.

I also have to finish the backyard installation. The weather is cold, but the sun is out. Tomorrow is suppose to be warmer. I hope to have all installation completed by tomorrow night. I also have some lights to fix in the front yard. I noticed some lights out and the wind on Wednesday knocked over a few things.
