this is how i did mine works perfectly, and if i needed too, i could change to 2cm pixel seeds and have 40 per row, instead of the 20 x 10cm seed pixels
yes i hung the curtain in reverse so its all done right to left not left to right
i will show the xlights setup later,
but i can now change them to be as tall or short as needed,
the hook adapter is always 40 lights that it traps then passes through to the next
these will look amazing
ok so got them working,
they are actually set as rows of 40 lights, so each new row needs to start at the next 40 section
they work quite well,
so will definalty be using them and more in this new years xmas display

so far i have disconvered the chip in each hook, hold 40 channels

then the next row starts
i have made a custom inside xlights with
1-20 as row 1
41-60 as row...
so far i have only had 1 christmas with pixels and controllers
i did go over board buying heaps of controllers , but ended up just using the 2 large controllers with 16-48 ports each
havent used diff recievers yet, but there are a few places were it would be easer to just use power and diff...
Try the Hanson HE123 with expansion or TX/RX Remote Expansion - still FPP but wont be limited to 8 ports per board
