[QUOTE="OzAz, post: 90612, member: 25027"] It's certainly possible and despite what a lot of people will tell you a reasonable way to get into the hobby. Once you've got one of these R2R controllers you'll have a better idea how they are put together and what you may need in the way of tools and hardware to build more for yourself in the future. Also, despite what many people will tell you, the R2R controllers aren't that more expensive (especially if you get one during a sale) than buying the board and hardware and building it yourself. If you take into account all the hardware required, all the tooling required (if you don't already have it) and the time required. The R2R controllers listed will only run, approximately, 50 pixels per output (if 5V) or 100 pixels per output (if 12V) but have the capacity to run many more pixels; you would have to get into power injection in order to do that. For RGB LEDS (Pixels) there are several choices for "Plug and Play" or "Ready to Run (R2R)" Controllers as follows - 16 Channel ones listed, but 4 channel ones also available from most of these vendors: [URL='https://www.pixelcontroller.com/store/index.php?id_product=50&controller=product']Falcon Controller[/URL] [URL='http://www.holidaycoro.com/16-Output-E1-31-Artnet-Pixel-Controller-Assembled-p/832.htm']HolidayCoro AlphaPix[/URL] [URL='http://www.advateklights.com/shop/pixlite-pixel-mapping/31-pixlite-16-controller.html']Advatek PixLite[/URL] [URL='http://store.lightorama.com/plpipade.html']LightORama PixCon[/URL] [/QUOTE]
