[QUOTE="i13, post: 124783, member: 21708"] I haven't watched the video but I otherwise see a few unanswered points here: Judging by the output in your second photograph, that is a dumb RGB set of lights that will work with a regular DC controller. I would not buy a controller specifically for the set of lights from Masters. If it happens to work with a controller that you'e already buying then that's great but it is not worth buying a controller for just one light set. The HE123 board requires a BeagleBone regardless of whether a computer is running the show. brando is correct that the BeagleBone can take over and run the show instead of the computer BUT you'll need to use a USB sound card with it if you want audio. It is inexpensive but important. The Raspberry Pi option can also do this and it does not need an additional sound card. xSchedule is a way to run xLights sequences with a computer controlling the display. Unlike xLights itself, xSchedule does not run on MacOS. [/QUOTE]

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