xLights History

Short Cut Keys

  • Nutcracker was written by Sean Meighan in 2012.
  • Sean, who was new to Christmas Lights, wanted an easier way of creating effects on smart RGB devices.
  • Sean came up with the concept of defining a model (Megatree, matrix, arches, .etc.) and then dropping effects (butterfly, spirals, text, .etc.) onto the model.
  • Nutcracker 1.0 and 2.0 were developed as a web application. To create effects you would log into the web, define models, and drop effects.
