[QUOTE="chee5eburger, post: 133331, member: 38373"] I really appreciate all of the advice and stuff everyone. I've been reading up and just want to make sure I'm on the right page with everything before I buy the wrong things (aware I'm leaving it pretty late). As I understand it, the ecosystem is something along the lines of [ psu ] -> [ computer / pi / bbb / etc ] -> [ controller ] software will dump either a file or an image that i'll chuck on the the the lights will have one end on the controller and one end into the PSU (unless I get a controller that can also power them) I'm completely lost when it comes to wiring electronics and stuff, so this is going to be fun. If I need a long string of lights, I can just daisy chain multiple strings together until I hit the pixel limit of the controller output right? And I'm planning two sets of lights about 5m apart. Is it recommended to get two boards and sync them somehow, or can I just run a stupidly long length of wires to the far-away set (sub-question, is that where null pixels would come in), and then factor in ohms law and maybe get a larger power supply to handle the drop over distance? Hopefully these questions make sense! [/QUOTE]

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