[QUOTE="Trikky72, post: 100317, member: 2593"] Now that I have gotten my head around the software side of controlling pixels with Xlights/Falcon Player etc. and most importantly have the ok from the minister of finance since she liked the way the mega tree and small matrix(30x30 pixels) looked. I thought it would be best to get some input from all the knowledge on here before I go ordering any LED's from Ray Wu, the area that I want to cover with the matrix is 5500mm wide x 1600mm high and facing west so gets the full summer sun in the afternoons. The options that I have thought of so far are: 1/ pixel strips 5m wide x 20 rows attached to a frame made using 20mm PVC pipe using cable ties using these pixel strips [URL]https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/5m-DC12V-WS2812B-addressable-pixel-strip-waterproof-in-silicon-tube-30pcs-WS2812B-M-with-30pixels-36W/701799_32348237310.html?spm=2114.12010612.8148356.8.b4ec2c9cOk9nDO[/URL] 2/ 100 nodes spread over 5m x 20 rows attached to a frame using 25mm PVC pipe with holes drilled for each node using these [URL]https://www.aliexpress.com/item/18AWG-wire-100pcs-string-DC12V-12mm-WS2811-addressable-RGB-led-smart-pixel-node-with-all-BLACK/32599191945.html?spm=a2g0s.13010208.99999999.274.72a13c001yLknO[/URL] both of these options would have the PVC pipe strung on vertical runs of 3 stainless steel wire in a similar fashion to this [MEDIA=youtube]cL9Dy0RlEEw[/MEDIA] [I][SIZE=2][URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL9Dy0RlEEw']View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL9Dy0RlEEw[/URL][/SIZE][/I] 3/ This option would be either 12mm pixel strips or 12mm Mega Tree strips from BOSCOYO, I would need some sort of frame on the top and bottom to run these vertically, mounting these top and bottom frames could be done using a fastener into the bricks with one at each end and one in the middle, I would use these nodes from Ray [URL]https://www.aliexpress.com/item/BLACK-wire-DC12V-WS2811-LED-smart-string-addressable-IP68-rated-epoxy-resin-filled-100pcs-a-string/32268476605.html?spm=a2g0s.13010208.99999999.259.72a13c001yLknO[/URL] Another possible option is the 2" Chromamesh from Boscoyo but I am not sure if these can be joined together or not and I would still need to make some sort of frame and would use these nodes as well [URL]https://www.aliexpress.com/item/BLACK-wire-DC12V-WS2811-LED-smart-string-addressable-IP68-rated-epoxy-resin-filled-100pcs-a-string/32268476605.html?spm=a2g0s.13010208.99999999.259.72a13c001yLknO[/URL] Below is a picture showing where I want to put this matrix [IMG]https://photos.app.goo.gl/ma1WujEPzoU9g7rv8[/IMG] [URL]https://photos.app.goo.gl/ma1WujEPzoU9g7rv8[/URL] Any input is greatly appreciated Cheers Chris [/QUOTE]
