[QUOTE="Mark_M, post: 120614, member: 29098"] A video online of this in action: [MEDIA=vimeo]154329809[/MEDIA] [I][SIZE=2][URL='https://player.vimeo.com/video/154329809']View: https://player.vimeo.com/video/154329809[/URL][/SIZE][/I] I can see in this video that it has presumably a power source and controlling device for the light strip every 10m (32ft). Main issue I get is brightness outside. Strip or nodes, it will be barely visible in bright sunlight. [ATTACH type="full" width="320px" alt="1631150771542.jpeg"]17954[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="1631150778476.jpeg"]17955[/ATTACH] I would take waterproof pixel strip and place it in a aluminium C-channel. I don't think it's necessary to spend the money on the version with a diffuser designed for strip. [ATTACH type="full" width="422px" alt="1631150379643.png"]17953[/ATTACH] I would do this mainly so it's compact. [HR][/HR] Controlling/software wise: My first thought is an Arduino. Similar to the video posted above, code written to take a potentiometer dial input and correlate that to a chase speed. The ultimate goal in that would be to have a small LCD attached and the Arduino's code displays the time taken for the lights to chase over 50m. [HR][/HR] Post #2 from me to follow from me with another idea. [/QUOTE]
Verification
The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
