This will be a standalone network for the tree so any cheap router should work. Wireless Router – To connect in to access the Pi and upload new files as well as the pixel controller.Raspberry Pi – To run the controller software for the show (Falcon Pi Player) USB Drive – Used by Falcon Pi Player to store video, songs, sequences.Also make sure it’s current (Amps) rating is sized properly for the number of LEDs you plan to drive. Power Supply– Either 5v or 12v, depending on the type of voltage required by the WS2811 LEDs.I've included links where applicable to the specific components I used in my setup Also don't miss the attached YouTube video of the tree in action.Īlso I’ve entered this Instructable into some of the current contests, so if you like what you see, a vote would be appreciated! Links are included below to jump to the resources I used to learn about these technologies. This Instructable covers many disciplines and technology which each could be their own instructable. I’m a fan of the Instructables website, and have posted some other LED projects here, so I wanted to share an overview of the steps taken to produce the tree you see in the video. This is also good because it’s a much cheaper setup than an equally impressive outdoor setup for an entire house might be. In prior Instructables I’ve created homebrew SW and setups to drive RGB LED pixels, but for this year I wanted to switch to what technology the outdoor Christmas community was using and apply it to the inside of the house. Looking at what some people put together for “over the top” outdoor Christmas LED shows, I wanted to see what was possible bringing that same level of system together for an inside the house Christmas tree.
