Mark's seed pixel mega tree - Smaller and cheaper!

Hi @Mark M thanks for the awesome Vid and ideas. I’m in South Africa and am going to try pull this off next year.

We don’t get the Falcon controllers here but I’ll have to make one up with an ESP.

One question I have is, you are using 80 pixels per string but you are using alternate nodes, does this mean that your tree is 2m high or are you using 160 per string with alternating nodes making is 4m?

Thank you so much!

The pixels are 10cm spacing. So the 80 pixels is 8m in length.
The 8m strand folded in half for alternate nodes makes it 5cm spacing between nodes and a length of 4m.

Got you thank you so much!
I really appreciate your help, I will be sure to show you some pics once I’m done
 
How tall is your galvanized pipe holding thias all up? I can only find 10's lengths locally. So for a 13' tee, that would mean a 10' and 5' section screwed in at least. Trying to figure out how to get started and do it the right way.

I have two lengths. The first one is from a netball hoop set someone threw out. The other one is a pole from my old garage door opening. Bolted together.
0:55 in the first video it briefly shows this.
