You may be asking yourself what is going on here? Am I in the right place? The answer is yes, you are in the right place. Some of the links are not relevant to us and are just some example content. If the link name does not make sense then it is probably not relevant. I am working on things and everything will get cleaned up and streamlined as I get ideas and articles from the community members. DIYC is evolving more and more everyday. The new front page and area you are vising right now is designed to help make DIYC more than a bulletin board.

Introduction

Display channel assignments.

I wanted to share a method of my hardware and channel layouts used to help alleviate some confusion for your first setup.

Step 1: Make a Layout and Stick to it

I start out by drawing my entire display on a sheet of paper, down to every set of lights. Do nothing else until you have finalized this layout. Once you decide on the final layout, change nothing, keep it written in stone. Do not deviate from it at all. Once you have every piece of the display in its final location on paper make a few photo copies and keep the original someplace safe.
