5 of 5 First Show Controller February 16, 2023
Reviewer: Jeff F from Pittsburgh, PA  
I've run projections the past two years and always thought about getting a controller to make a full show.  I finally decided to jump in.  This controller has enough to me to start tinkering and lots of room to expand my show in the coming years.  Shipping was lightning quick and all the help videos on holidaycoro.com provided me with plenty of information in order to get up and running and a basic sequence built in xLights.

5 of 5 HinksPix Controller January 23, 2023
Reviewer: Jon Bridges from Magnolia, TX United States  
I’m new to RGB holiday decorating this year. This controller is fairly easy to work with. I’m using XLights and a Raspberry Pi with FPP to control my shows. I set-up the controller in XLights but did have some issues getting the PI to talk the controller. Once I gave the controller and the PI static IP addresses and set the PI to run on Wi-Fi, instead of Ethernet everything worked great. Overall, I’m very pleased with Holiday Coro has a vendor.
