I decided to venture further into the realm of sequencing RGB pixel lights this Christmas. Waiting until Thanksgiving to start was not the brightest idea ever though...
Here's how I got started. I found a video by Keith Westley, who is one of the primary authors of xLights and absolutely brilliant when it comes to this stuff. Here's a link, and you should absolutely watch this and subscribe to Keith if you have any interest in these lights:

I then proceeded to ignore most of his advice :) The end results are not going to get me on The Great Christmas Light Fight show any time soon, but we're having fun with it here in the neighborhood.
Also wanted to give a shout-out to Jeff over at Canispater Christmas. He has some great content on this subject and is definitely worth checking out:

Many thanks to the artist for providing the music:
