Hi All,
Firstly, awesome community you have here lads!! Everyone is super helpful and keen for lighting madness!
Shoutout to @darylc who is a uber legend sending through a special edition F16v3 quick smart.
So anyway.... I've been reading, searching and attempting to answer my own questions first.
But now I'm hoping to get a bit of reassurance that I'm headed down the right path. I'm centring on a 5v WS2811 pixel system.
Control will be handled by a Artnet/sACN controller outputting to a Falcon F16v3 then onto the individual pixel chains.
I'm wanting to achieve per pixel control as I may want to 'Pixel Map' the entire system with a video source at a later time.
12v would have been preferable because the run distances from the controller to the pixel groups could be over 20m, but I believe the general IC configurations wont allow for per pixel control at 12v.
Below is my intended purchase list, any suggestions/pointers would be very welcome!
