Great informative video. Now I want to get a fog machine for my display! I’ve had problems in the past with people vandalizing my display. Mostly kicking my light strings that outline my yard. I use motion sensors with an outdoor siren by YoLink to scare them off now.

That must suck! We bought a few cameras right after my lights were cut in 2020. It was Black Friday when I noticed what happened to the lights, so there were great deals on cameras! 🤣

Awesome 👏 are you planning on using in Christmas show?
@How2Pixel10 ай бұрын
Probably not just because it's such a hassle to fill it up every other night. Plus, the Christmas light show has LED bracelets that sync to the show people can use, so I consider that the "special item" for the Christmas show. Fog just seems more like a Halloween type thing.

You could use that strobe function and white light for a lightning effect. Make sure to properly clean that machine after the season or this may be the only one you will have it functional for. Spirit Halloween usually carries it but it is getting late in the season and they may be out. You can also use citric acid and distilled water which is basically the same thing and run it thru until there is no more fog and only steam. Then run it empty until it ether stops steaming or you hear a change in the pump sound indicating that the fluid path is clear. Leaving fog juice in the fogger can and in many cases plugs up the system to the point that the pump can't clear it or the pump itself may stop working. You may want to look into building a fog chiller next year which will keep most of the fog on the ground which looks really cool.

Thanks for all the tips! I'm definitely going to my fog machine after Halloween. my manual said I could use a mixture of something like 80% distilled water and 20% vinegar, then run it through the machine.

could you possibly attach the bottle of fog directly to the machine?

Honestly that's not a bad idea. If I were to do it, I'd probably just hook the tube for the pump right into the bottle of fog. The only problem is I didn't build the enclosure big enough so it probably won't fit. Thanks for the idea though! I might try it next year.

Nice video, may you make a video about the whole setup of how you play shows off raspberry pi? I was wondering for next year, haha.

I do have an older video showing how to run FPP (Falcon player) off a raspberry pi if that's what you're looking for. You can check it out here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ptB6gNOoxr6rhIU.html or were you looking for something else?
