Hey @DinoChickenSuit,
Happy to talk you through Baldrick and why it might be a good choice for you.
1) It's under 200 AUD and stocked in the AUS, although it doesn't do smart receivers, we've designed the Baldrick to replace them, wherever you'd put a smart receiver, you stick a Baldrick, then...
Looks good, I'd just be careful about some of those gaps between pixels as there isn't a lot of material between them and when pushing pixels, it might break.
Also I'd go with 12.4 rather than 11.4 for pushing the pixels If we are talking about bullets
You can add WLED as a controller in xLights,
On windows you can use xScheduler on your computer but many people prefer to use something called FPP which is on a Raspberry Pi to manage the show playing as it's a dedicated device.
I need to make this clearer that the board can't be plugged into a computer (unless it has a DCHP server)..
@Lanas kids lights if you can plug it into the router that comes with your internet, it should work then. if not let us know and we can work it out
