[QUOTE="Nojoy, post: 112208, member: 32601"] Just started this year too. Went with that exact controller and have some pointers to consider: -yes it is ready made to withstand qld elements; but - it locks you into using 1 type of pixel across all 16/32 outputs (ws2811 etc); - it limits you to 170 pixels per output compared to thousands on the hansen he123 or falcon 16/48; - it comes pre-installed with 4amp fuses so can't run 170 pixels on an output at full 100% white out of the box; and - while the 4th line on each output (clock line) can be reconfigured to be an additional data line expanding to 32 * 170 pixels, the power is again a limiting factor if you aren't DIY capable. You really are paying for convenience, so as long as you are aware and accept its limitations, its a good entry level controller. You will generally pay a premium for ready to run that could limit your creativity (and add cost) in later years. If I started over I would have bought the Hansen he123 mk2 with a beaglebone green and housed the controller myself. Not a knock on the quality of Advatek's pixlite, just more comfortable building my own now. [/QUOTE]

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