Using 21,268 lights and LED , ex - Disney imagineer and special effects specialiser Ric Turner turned the front of his family into the double-dyed setting for a Guitar Hero Christmas lights spectacular .
As he excuse :
Christmas Light Hero is using 7 light controllers from Light - O - Rama built from kit to check 21,268 lights and LEDs . Each controller has 16 outputs and 2 - 3 TTL level control inputs that are used by the game system to fire dissimilar programmed light episode depending on what go on in the game . It swear on the fact that the game succession is very consistent . If the game and the ignition succession get together , they will stay put in very honorable sync through the length of the birdsong . The idle program allows separate and overlay for fail , star power and “ ready . ” I have some ideas to automate the initial show / game sync , but for now you have to push doorbell buttons at the right moments .
Rubberneckers watch in their cars can tune up into the frequency 99.1 to find out the audio recording , or even partake in in the fun if they defy . [ YouTubeviaMAKEviaGeekologie ]
