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'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...
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?
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?
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?
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.
