[QUOTE="MacArthur St Light Fusion, post: 93093, member: 25016"] Hi Bill, I'm by no means an expert on this, but last year was my first year with pixels and I know first hand the learning curve you are about to go through. As for me... I run all 12v pixels. House lines are done with strips, and props are all nodes like you said. Personally for me that looks the way I want it. You will see multiple arguments around strips vs nodes and Falcons vs Pixlites vs everything else! What you need to do is work out the look you are going for and don't get stuck on doing what everyone else says THEY like. That said, the only way my show go up and running was with the help from the guys on this forum... Chat, zoom, forums, etc etc. I guess all I can comment on to try and help is that I run all 12v, 3 Falcons, show is run by a Beaglebone Black which I connect to wireless to turn show on and off, but all controllers are connected via ethernet. The only other advise I can give is to go with xLights and start now! Get your layout sorted so you have a good idea on what builds you have in front of you, and just start playing with the software. It's so easy to use yet there are an almost limitless amount of looks/effects you can get with it. And the developers are making the software better every day! Anyway, we are all here to help if you have issues, and this is what my take on 12v, Falcons, BBB & pixels looks like: [MEDIA=youtube]id=KCkdlCmCSCE;t=9[/MEDIA] [i][size=2][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCkdlCmCSCE&t=9s]View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCkdlCmCSCE&t=9s[/url][/size][/i] Cheers and have fun!
