Welcome to ACL, I know at first it may seem overwhelming but its not as bad as when you first look at it, I have no electrical background yet I am able to do a full pixel display. Have you thought about the J1systems controllers P12S? IMO they are a bit more flexible with lights etc than a Pixlite16. but as I said that is just my opinion. No Question is too silly so ask away as we have all been where you are.
