I want to switch to all pixels next year and b/c I’m not independently wealthy, I want to use the 2811 strips sold by Ray Wu and run everything via E1.31 and LOR S3. I also want to use these pixel strips in connection with the dumb strips Ray sells and some DMX RGB flood lights I already own (thus I’ll have to use a DMX bridge of some sort). With that said, I want to buy just a few strips at the beginning for testing purposes before I make the big purchase later on. So…what would I need to purchase to do this. This is what I’ve come up with so far.
[font=](2) 2811 RGB Strips:
(1) Power Supply: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/150W-Dual-Output-Switching-Power-Supply-88-264VAC-input-12V-150W-output-CE-and-ROHS-approved/701799_289599860.html
(1) ECG-P2 pixel controller
(1) 3 Core Plugs [/font]
(1) 2 Core Plugs
[font=]-22/4 Alarm wire[/font]
[font=]Will this be sufficient to start messing around at home? [/font]Do I need a power injection to power the two strips are should I be okay with the 150w power supply alone? Finally, what "dumb" strips do people recommend?
