Following the success of our garage door setup in 2012, which included 15 two meter strings of K-Mart lights daisy-chained together and hung across the door on cord so it could be pulled back each night, I'm planning something much better for this year.
I have attached a rough diagram of the plan. There will be 30 two metre strings of pixels. These will be in two sections of 15 strings each so they can be pulled across to each side at night. Again, these will be daisy-chained together at the top (will this be possible with pixels in terms of addressing them?). I need some advice as to whether this will work and what I'm going to need to buy. Assume I'm starting from scratch.
Despite my best efforts, I can't seem to find the distance between pixels on any of Ray's products. So I don't know how many lights there will be per string. That means that I don't know the total number of lights and channels either. Working on the theory that they are 100mm apart, that would mean 20 per string and six hundred lights in total and 1,800 channels.
So, what do I need to buy from Ray to make this happen. Power supplies, controllers, RGB strings etc. I figure if I buy this stuff now, I can rig it up inside the garage and will have plenty of time to play with it before next Christmas.
Thanks in advance
