I agree - The arches with the 60/m look fantastic and do love them. This year was the worst; out of the 10, I had to repair 4 and one twice. And each time it was two or more leds that needed to be replaced. Either not sending data correctly or receiving it; and not by a solder joint but in...

No wonder I love this forum. An exchange of ideas.

If that is not a belayed Christmas present, I don't know what is. That would be great. my address: WOW

I'm tired of repairing my hoops (1 inch PEX) that have 60/m led strips in them. Yes, I know about friends and strips, but the strips were FREE 2 years ago; now they are costing me repair time. So, I was hoping that these see pixels would be a good replacement. The main question for me would the...

I just bought this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09KWZFF5M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Have not tried it yet though

I feel for all new enthusiasts looking for RPIs. I only have 2 PIs, PI4 as the master and a 3b+ for my Tune2 sign with a ColorLite card. All other controllers are BeagleBone and they only went up a few $ instead of doubling. I would try to go the BB route ( just my opinion)

I'm in the states and use 3 server PS. I cut the power cord and after pushing it thru an appropriate sized glad, strip both cut end and use Wago connectors to rejoin them. I'm sure there are many other ways to reconnect, but that to me seemed fast and no mess.

Excellent idea - especially if they are free

Yes, welcome. This is a great forum with lots of information available. All you have to do is ask

EXACTLY what I was thinking of - I think I've seen a video of your set up - it looks familiar, minus the white stuff (a FB forum maybe??

Good advice - spend $3-5 instead of $75 and it not working

My implementation this year will be something like this: I have 5 - 100 pixel string, some leftover ChromaTrim from Boscoyo, plenty of wire and will be buying some fiberglass stakes. Extend the distance on the strings every 7 pixels by about 3 feet. Put them into the ChromaTrim (1,3,5,7,6,4,2)...

Labels??? I knew I forgot something on my boxes. - So that's why it took me longer to connect things up. So now I know what I'm doing this weekend 😂

When the Mrs. gets mad at you when the 5000 pixels get delivered, because she has ideas for more props

For that distance, I think some directional wifi is needed. I love Ubiquity - have 2 AP lights at the house - almost plug and play. I would look at the airMAX products
