Sneek Peak

Here is a sneak peak at the 16 foot Christmas Wreath light controller.

Ice Outage

We are having problems with our lights tonight due to the ice. The ice has caused the GFI safety feature to kick in twice. So for safer reasons, the show had been turned off for the night.  We are hoping that the weather will cooperate with us for Saturday Night’s show.

December 20th Update

Just want to update everyone on some things.

• We currently have 43 cans of food for the Lawton Food Bank! 
• Added Feliz Navidad by José Feliciano, but we are still fine tuning it. 
• Starting earlier at 5:45PM 
• Ending later at 12:30AM 
• Depending on the weather, we will have the music playing outside on Christmas Eve night and Christmas Night so that you can sit on the sidewalk or curb and watch, as well as listen in from your car on 99.1FM. 

We thank everyone for their feedback and help with the canned food drive. We want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!

Two More Songs!

Songs Programmed thus far and in order that they play. The show is setup to repeat every 20 minutes or so:

We ask that you bring a canned food item for the Lawton Food Bank an place it in the bin next to our sign.

Special Thanks!

We want to take a minute to thank someone that really helped bring our dreams to reality. We’ve all seen the videos on YouTube and wonder how they did that, well there was one guy that not only showed his off, but showed you how it was done. Front start to finish, Scott Shaver aka “zparticle”, helped us by making videos of each step, and when there was a roadblock, he was there to help us. We have never met Scott, but we want to say THANK YOU from our entire family and would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas!

DIY Stubber

So if you have LED light strings, you may notice that they don’t dim all the way. So to resolve that you can get a cord plug and solder a Resistor (1W 47K) in the plug.  Fill the plug with hot glue, and then place on the end each LED strand.

Fixed!!

Okay, great news, sort of…. We found the issue, it was the FM Transmitter. It was causing a ton of interference to the relays and Arduino. We moved the FM transmitter about 20 ft away and it was not as bad. So I am having to make another headphone cable to take the transmitter into the house. I am hoping that it will help.
