Hello, I am in the process of building a mega tree as I am still learning the hobby,
I would like some input if I am setting this up right, I am doing a 24 string tree with 12v pixels/50 nodes per string,
my controller is a F16v3, I am using xlights.
My math at this is: I am using 24 strands of 12v/50 nodes = 1200 nodes, I can use 340 nodes per port ( it would be 2 universes)
( the math is 510 nodes /divided by 3 (RGB) = 170 \ each port can have 1024 nodes, 1024 nodes divided by 170 nodes = 6.23
Round it off to 6, I can put 6 stings on one port)
I plan on power injection every second string (every 100 nodes)
Is this the correct set up in xlights base on my calculation from above
#String 6
Node/string 300
Strand/string 12
Please advise if I am learning this right, any critic good or bad is welcome as I am trying to learn this hobby
also I do have plans for the rest of the ports on the F16v3 but I am trying to understand the mega tree setup first
As for my complete plan it is 1 mega tree, roof line, 4 arches, 4 mini pixel trees and 10 snow flakes,
thank you all for the help
