[QUOTE="franky_888, post: 114843, member: 22215"] Hey dave, Welcome! The type of DC controller you'll need really depends on whether or not you have two or three string lights, if you aren't sure, take some photos of your multifunction controllers so we can have a look. If you're heading down the pixel route with NodeMCU you'd be better placed with a 2811 based DC controller, eg: [URL]http://www.hansonelectronics.com.au/product/2811dc2-30/[/URL] Otherwise you'd need a separate DMX controller or 2811 to DMX converter. Falcons have DMX control, but if you're only testing the waters then getting a 2811 compatible controller upfront would be easier (in my opinion at least). I personally wouldn't even begin to consider the Christmas Creations controller you linked, quite pricey! Another option is to use a Raspberry Pi Hat - [URL]http://www.hansonelectronics.com.au/product/rpi-28dplus/[/URL] this'll do 2811 (for pixels separately/instead of your NodeMCU) and has dmx out if you have your heart set on using a DMX controller.

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