Computer controlled christmas lights in Brewster, OH
I put together the Triks-C’s tonight and loaded up the firmware. The diag LEDs appear to do what they are supposed to, so they seem to be working. Next up the LedTriks boards, but there isn’t any real hurry as I don’t have the PCBs for the LEDs yet. Doesn’t sound like they will be here for another two weeks or so, so I’ve got some time before I’ve got to solder 1500+ LEDs 
What I hoped would be my last Mouser order for a while arrived with parts for the Grinch Dimmer, the LedTriks and the Triks-C boards. The only problem is that they were out of one or more parts for each of the projects, so there isn’t any one project that I can work on. Looks like most of the backordered parts will be in by May, but that’s a long time to wait.
Last week I finished the last of the 16 pixels that I hope to use as a tree topper. Next I need to paint the containers I’m going to put them in and mount them all, then I can test out the patterns on a piece of cardboard.
I also found a great deal on an 8 channel Behringer mixer and a Behringer DSP1424P on eBay to help make my FM transmissions sound even better. I haven’t had a lot of time to play with them yet, but so far it does sound better.
