I live full time in an RV (40-foot trailer) and am looking to upgrade my Christmas light display to addressable pixels lights. Most of the videos I've seen are for large to very large shows and way too complicated discussion of controllers. I imagine my display will have less than 1000 lights, but expansion is possible. I would like to synchronize the lights with music. My questions:
Best (easiest) small controller? USA compatible a must.
Do I need to have wifi to operate? I would prefer a wired system from laptop to controller. I know it would be needed for downloads and programs.
Can connection from laptop to controller be through ethernet cable? I'm not the most computer savvy and don't know if ethernet must be used with wifi?
5v or 12v best?
Thank you.
