First off, I must say that I am looking into this project, but it's not definite.

Being I still live in a dorm, there's not a whole lot of opportunity to use LOR.  (Outside decorations would disappear in a heartbeat.)  So, I dreamed up this great project to try to cram a whole LOR show into one window...or maybe two or three if I have cool neighbors.  Time will tell.

Anyways, here is what I am thinking.  My goal was to have something that can chase both vertical and horizontal.  In addition, I wanted at least 3 colors to work with, and hopefully more than one window. 

The diagram below is really confusing.  Basically, I have red and green on the horizontal grid lines, and white and blue on the vertical grid lines.  The diagram shows which lines are on what channels.  This is my first stab at a design and channel layout, so it's likely to change. 

CHANNEL LIST:

  1. Red horizontal top
  2. Red horizontal middle
  3. Red horizontal bottom
  4. Green horizontal (all green lights)
  5. Blue vertical left
  6. Blue vertical right
  7. White vertical (all white lights)
  8. Candle
  9. Candle
  10. Candle
  11. Candle
  12. Candle
  13. Candle
  14. Candle
  15. Candle

This is my window:

My Window

This is my channel grid.  It shows all the grid lines, the colors of the lights, and the channel layout.  You will notice I have 8 electric candles that will sit on the window sill.  Obviously, I will clean up the grid and make it uniform when I get the actual window dimensions.

Here is the same diagram, just dumbed down.  All the colored lines represent the various circuits.  As you can see, there are 7 channels for the lights.  3 red, 2 blue, 1 white, 1 green.  (The pink line is the white lights.)
