(sorry for bad lighting but you get my point :P)

I think I made that a few years ago, made it again this year, got some fakeish plastic Christmas tree-like cone and a battery-powered set of lights at the dollar store, put those together, wired where the batteries would be to my TI C2000 Launchpad (because my brother has my Arduino), fired up the Fade example in Energia and there you go, a programmable USB Christmas tree. Still have to figure out how to serial port with Energia, but had I have my Arduino, could have done some fancy blinking stuff with it. Not that I already can do fancy stuff.

Are you doing some Christmas-themed projects this year?

there is a guy near me that every year sets up lights over the entirety of his yard / house and has it set to music with patterns and whatnot.

Also in case you were wondering Frankie did go to Hollywood

Wow, that sounds annoying haha.

And you never sneaked over and pulled the plug...? It would even be a good thing as you prevent a massive waste of energy ;)

The power bill must be insane with so many lights. I wonder how much it would be with LED lights, though?

I have yet to remove my christmas decorations lol, because I was sick two weeks ago, which was around when I originally planned to remove them, and then I got too busy <_<

But again, in Quebec City there is a neighborhood in which they even let the Christmas lights turned ON until April or so (or at least until there's no snow anymore).

Fun fact: Christmas tree is now powered by my Raspberry Pi.

Code (node.js) Select
var wpi = require('wiring-pi');
wpi.wiringPiSetup();
wpi.pinMode(1, wpi.PWM_OUTPUT);
var dir = 1;
var val = 511;
function sweep()
{
  if(val <= 0 || val >= 1023)
    dir *= -1;
  val += dir;
  wpi.pwmWrite(1, val);
}

setInterval(sweep, 3);
