Awesome, thanks for the offers Habbosrus and roo. Habbosrus I will call this arv, thanks 8)

Thanks all, I think I was pretty close the way I was headed, I have been bench testing but just with a simple tester I bought from Ray Wu with the strips, mainly just to test the soldering. I'll still have plenty more Q's when I really get into proper control, I've tried to get in to it for...

Hi all, I have had a good search on the topic and read, re-read and re-re-read the 101 but I'm really struggling with the basic process or workflow of putting it all together. I crashed and burned pretty hard last year with very little to show for over $1k (and a lot of time) spent on lights...

Hey mate, better knock me off the list just got to concentrate on what I have for now. thanks

I ended up going for the Pixlite, at this stage the protocol issue won't hurt me and it seemed good value. I've also settled on Vixen3 for now, I may look at LSP again once this season is over. Thanks again for the direction given thus far. Ray's order should be here tomorrow or Friday, still...

I'm keen, I might as well add to the pile of stuff I have to learn how to use ;D I'd go for $2-300 worth I guess

I'd like to get a controller (or 2) ordered today, I've just had a nice kickstart to the decision making process in chat but thought I'd throw it in here for future reference so a noob might see how I got to the final choice. My first plan of attack was to try to compare cost as I've got bugger...

Their website is a bit dodgy I reckon, I can't direct link to the one I got, but it's the reindeer barn without Santa, check out my original post, I've been updating that as I go

Thankyou for making the suggestion, a 'trained eye' and all that 8)

Hahah, yeah I think he goes by the name of 'the bad photoshop bandit' notorious around these parts ;D

Thanks again for all the help guys, I have ordered a 'garage door decor' and have the order moving along with Ray Wu, definitely worth emailing him rather than buying straight off 'my cart' in Aliexpress, postage price has dropped by ~$100. I have updated my first post a bit.

So these ones? http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/plastic-end-cap-for-the-13-5mm-white-waterproof-pigtail/701799_813548245.html Do you also need these ones I mentioned? 1 x lot of these end caps

No custom lengths for me, I enjoy the build too much PS thanks for all the tips so far, I'll be back later for a better read... Keep em coming :D

Hi all, I thought I'd document my set up from start to finish in the hope that it may end up a good resource for the next noob to stumble upon this great site. I'll be making it up as I go along but I'll come back and edit this post to try to keep everything accessible. I know this is quite a...

This has very nearly happened :-[ after a severe case of analysis paralysis and then missing out on an absolute no brainer of a second hand buy from a member here I have finally realised it's now or never, so here I am a 'new' new member saying hello. Wish me luck ;D
