Default Christmas Light Show

Glad to see someone else doing this in The Villages. I'll be setting up my first show using xLights software. I built my own control hardware and have only a few props since it's my first year. The props include a 9' Tall MegaTree, some Candy Canes, a 2x3 P5 Panel, some eve lighting and a couple of small trees.

It appears a number of LOR folks are converting to xLights since it is open source. As a retired Electronics Engineer, doing the hardware/software kept me busy while being quarantined. The most time consuming part is choreographing the lights to the music.

I'm not sure how many do these light shows in The Villages? If there are enough, it may be worthwhile putting together a group activity.
