Hi All,
As I seem to be getting more and more lights, pixels now. One of the issues is heat.
With the technology going at a fast rate, the knowledge in this forum, is it conceivable to be able to this as a joint project.
Use a Raspberry zero, to send info on temp, volts, amps, control fan speed.
Turn on controllers one at a time, to avoid current rush.
Have a raspberry for each controller box, some boxes may have different power supplies.
All this info via WiFi to a computer, tablet, what ever one can see or manipulate the Zero.
The money spent on pixels and controllers, is a huge amount, to be able to extend their life, the cost of the above maybe worth the effort.
Your thoughts
