This year i have done a bit better with the SX.
I have 6 - 17 channel 255 level dimmable SX powered controller boxes.

Merry Christmas

UPDATE:
Thanks to parallax for making this project of the week.
In retrospect I wish I had put lots more pictures/detail in this post.
I do have a website now with more info.

Update 2:
Well I have kept tinkering and working and came up with what I think is a cool idea.
Why not allow anybody to control my (and anybody elses) Christmas Lights directly from an Android Smartphone.
A video of my first prototype, will add video of my full house once it is setup.

That is where I live. If you need any help, please let me know.
We will check out the display. Let me know if this is your house, I'll introduce myself.
Edit: Okay I read the flyer and I see you are in Hanover. That's not too far, I'll check out the lights. What time do they start ?

Click on "Christmas Display" then "2009 Videos".
Wizards in Winter is my favorite. The timing over the low watt FM is perfect!

If so, I'd be willing to write some PropBasic control code.

Nope, no propeller this year.
Honestly I have worn myself out re-inventing hardware. It was fun and I learned a ton but this year I am adding to LYNX Express controllers. There design seems rock solid and has alot of features. I do however have other ideas for 2010. Nothing to do with parallax stuff, but cool non the less. Will still throw up a post sometime around christmas.

And yes those SX chips are still running great!
Fabulous!
Are you using BlueTooth or WiFi?
Long Live SX!
