    Connect pigtails to controller?

    Do you recommend attaching the pigtail to the controller then attach the pixel string to the pigtail?

    Just about ready to purchase my P12x

    I would really like to get the new Joshua P 12 D however a lot of people are telling me that the support for Joshua systems is very lackluster. More people seem to be using The San devices because of the support. What do you guys find about support?

    I guess I don't plug a P12S in!

    I have a 5v 50a 350w power supply from diyledexpress.com. Don't know if it's a meanwell or not.

    Just about ready to purchase my P12x

    Am I reading that right that the P12D is only $25 more, or is that in addition.

    I guess I don't plug a P12S in!

    Am I correct in just now noticing that I have to wire the P12S to a power supply? Somehow I missed that.

    Will doubling my wires make the gauge bigger?

    I'm thinking of doing this from the P12S to my pixel strand of 25 5v Ws2811 mini tree to mini tree to mini tree for a total of 6 trees 150 pixels. I'll inject power after 50, 100, and at the end. Not exactly sure of distance yet but am guessing 10-15 feet but thinking doubling the wire might...

    Just about ready to purchase my P12x

    I've been reading a lot about the different controllers and have just about made my decision (either the P12S or the new P12D) . Just 2 questions. Is there a better time to purchase one and is there a price sheet from Ed for the newer controller?

    Will doubling my wires make the gauge bigger?

    If I take 2 sections of 16ga wire, Lay them side by side(not end to end) and wire the ends together will I then be making a gauge thicker to minimize voltage drop for power injection?

    Best place to inject power?

    So instead of injecting power at the end, better to inject where the pinking begins?

    Best place to inject power?

    Was reading a DIY wiki and it says "Using Power Injection at the end of a String nominally reduces the current thru the wire to the beginning of the string in half, since the Power Injection Wires carry roughly half of the current for the string." I am unsure if this is good or bad?

    P2, P8 & P12

    Are there any spec sheets on this new version of the P12? Would enjoy reading about it

    Power injection cords

    I am assuming that update has been within a year? I downloaded the manual in 2012 but looks like I will download it and see what's new!

    Power injection cords

    I have an excess of 16ga orange outdoor extension cords just laying around. Would those be good cords for power injection? I will be using 5v ws2811

    P2, P8 & P12

    that is a huge selling point for me

    Purchasing an ECG-P12R

    I'm going to do it, I'm going pixels with Joshua 1 systems!!! Before I order the P12R, anything I need to know, wait for, or order at the same time? I'm going to start on 2014 display right now.
