[QUOTE="Kotche, post: 118970, member: 29284"] Hey ACL team I'm finding that even reading through various material (inc the 101 Manual), posts, watching videos, etc. that I'm not yet sure I have a handle on some of the basics. This diagram is what I think I understand so far, so I'm looking for some validation here. My diagram depicts a basic setup of: - Computer or Pi - Pixel Controller - Multiple strings of 12V pixels - Power supply - Fuse line, for power injection My assumptions here are: - the Power Supply is used to power the Pixel Controller - you can run multiple strings of 12v Pixels (~100 pixels max) off the Pixel Controller, without power injection - for 12V Pixel strings longer than 100 pixels (up to 300 pixels in my example) requires power injection - the power injection occurs at pixels #150 and #250, as it supplies power to the 50 pixels either side of the injection points - I have a 15A fuse to manage the power injections for the longer string - I can run multiple power injections through the same fuse so long as I don't exceed what the fuse can handle [ATTACH type="full" alt="Pixel Power Injection-2.jpeg"]17281[/ATTACH] Am I more or less on the right track here? What other considerations do I need to factor in? Thanks in advance for your input! [/QUOTE]

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
