[QUOTE="Mark_M, post: 125927, member: 29098"] Welcome along to ACL [USER=37300]@Kiwigirlsteph[/USER] ! We're slowing dominating the Aussies! Pixels work a lot differently to regular strings of lights. In my opinion: [LIST=1] [*]A cheap way to get started with pixels is an ESP based board and something like WLED software installed on it. Surplustronics in Auckland sell ESP32's for $20 each. A string of pixel (addressable RGB lights) can be bought from Jaycar or online. This will require some wiring, so it's a great project to start small with. WLED software has enough built-in effects to get started. Once you've played around with that, then you could try xLights on your computer and synchronise to your favourite songs. [*]If you are confident with more tinkering, a Raspberry Pi cape designed for pixels and a Raspberry Pi computer is a good setup for a few thousand pixels. [/LIST] [hr][/hr] There is plenty of options to get started. The 101 manual is a big gulp to take in. This hobby is not plug and play. Let us know your skill level, we can skip ahead if you already know parts. Where about's in NZ are you? There might be another Kiwi nearby who can help you getting started. [/QUOTE]

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