[QUOTE="scamper, post: 97371, member: 22285"] Hi and welcome to ACL I second the buck converter limitation. I tried this with 12v supplies and 5v converters, but ended up canning the idea. The limitations mean I can buy more power in power supplies than buck converters for the same money. And I have overloaded buck converters in the past causing failure (and almost a fire) To start with you can use any old computer, but as you grow the show and number of channels you will find it will start to slow down, first place you notice it is the rendering time while sequencing, then if you get past all that, you may start to see a bit of lag in your show. My suggestion for what it is worth is get a raspberry Pi and load FPP on it. You can set up your own network to keep if off your home network but still access it via wifi to upload sequences, change settings etc. and they are cheap :D any time you are looking at buying stuff but are not sure, you can pop your wish list up here and there will always be someone to give their advice. Then it is up to you if you want to listen :confused: If you haven't already, download the acl 101 manual and have a read, it is very helpful and has a huge amount if info in it. [/QUOTE]

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