Planning a new display for 2016 and curious if anyone has gone down the wireless E1.31 path?
Currently there are quite a few solutions for this (especially liking the simplicity of the pixelstick on the DIYChristmas forums, which is essentially a breakout board for an inexpensive wifi module programmed to run a uni of pixels).
Although per universe it may end up costing roughly the same as a dedicated controller, the savings in cabling and signal repeaters (and time) over long runs make them quite attractive.
I'm especially thinking rooflines/eaves etc where cables would be typically difficult to run/affix in position.
Experiences,thoughts etc?
