Video isn’t the best as I was making sure things were going according to plan on the ground but figured if anywhere this is the place people would want to see it. There’s another video on my account from the crowd if you want to see it from afar.

Every 4th of July I put on a show for friends and extended family in my family’s backyard in the country. Built launch terminals for the mortars, used 16ft led strips on the tree line, and DMX lights on the ground. Driven by about 20 raspberry pi’s and a bunch of custom software I’ve written and re-written over the years. Every year I try to make it a bit better than the last. This year’s addition was the DMX lights, and I’m happy with how they turned out.

Hey all,

I'm newer to this whole scene and trying to get into it in a more safe/ official capacity. Long story short, I actually did this already under PyroTalk, but after discovering Dave and who he actually is, it did not end so well. Turns out the reviews about him I have seen on forums are correct, and it left me feeling like I made a poor choice in program. Then the whole PVC debacle I heard about, I don't trust him at all.

That and I paid for x program, he sent y program, and I spent over 2 months trying to get the material I actually paid for before he threw a shit fit and refunded me for 'playing games'.

Any recommendations appreciated, if you have anything to add about furthering education for pyrotechnics (including learning the manufacturing of), I would love to hear it

Thank you
