Amps won't be your issue, 1 amp for RPi is minimum required 2.5 is better, less than 1 & it will have problems, 5 amps just gives you head room. Voltage is the big one, They need 5volts not 12, which is what I would expect the ATX out is, **Edit I thought it was straight into the pie I see now...

I wouldn't worry about power injection my 5v 32 string x 50 doesn't need it. Although the power is balanced over 4 strings top & bottom, 200 pixels per channel. Only running 30% so it doesn't blind people :)

Well said Ken, this is my 4th year but will never forget all the help I got from this site, it would have been impossible otherwise. Good luck & I look forward to seeing the outcome!

Hmm I thought only port 1, The Top port on the F16 could be used with a smart receiver? Did you check the manual? "Quote from Manual" The “DMX1” connector can also drive all 4 ports on a differential receiver without the need for a differential expansion board. A single port on the...

I have purchased from them, Good product on Par with Ray & the others, Go for it.

This is Ray Wu's Store a place we here commonly deal with, https://www.aliexpress.com/store/group/13-5mm-series-white-waterproof-pigtails/701799_250410969.html?spm=a2g0o.store_home.pcShopHead_203195030.1_22

I use this wire from the power supply to the F16 & my distro boards. I also run a 5v Show. https://www.jaycar.com.au/red-25a-automotive-dc-power-cable-sold-per-metre/p/WH3080 Its also avaliable in black. A fuse to the F16 on both power inputs makes sense. I don't fuse the power to my distro...

Are you certain your show directory is exactly the same as before update? Points to the same spot? Also when I save a sequence in the current version it now saves as a .xsq file

^^This is how mine is also.

So that totals 270 pixels. My Mini Trees total 500 pixels & are ran off one port, you should be able to join all strings together & run it off one port easily. Is it 5v or 12v you may want to power inject.

How many pixels are used in the star? How many pixels per port can the E682 handle?

I use 5 volt Pixels which can take a little more wiring ( Power injection ) then the 12 volt option. Paul Zhang - Etop https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32949751135.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.4e823c00NOR2Wt&mp=1 Ray Wu...

I used these for my first build a few years ago, They are very small wires to work with and break easily, Although I got through the season ok they gave trouble the next year & ultimately had to be replaced. Try to wait & purchase 18/ 20 Awg so what you make lasts.
