WLED Controller Build (Permanent Pixels)

This is a walk-through step by step on building a WLED controller for permanent pixels (or any other pixels you want controlled by WLED). This used a Wasatch Pixels Wifi Duo Controller and Falcon Power Distro board. See below for links to all the materials used.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Hi, great tutorial, you just showed me a spectacular option that I was looking for, the page for those controllers, but I have a question, if you are using those via WiFi, don't you get lag?

[@LightsonBrushCreek]

@@imercasanovaparra I haven’t really had an issue with lag when running them as permanent lighting during the off season. For my light show though I won’t be using these because of wifi lag. I’ll have them hardwired via a different controller.

If I wanted to build just 3 moving Arches and nothing more, what else do I need to build other than this box and the Actual Arches.
I’m sorry for my ignorance, but I’ve seen people building boxes for inside the garage, I’ve lost the plot obviously

[@LightsonBrushCreek]

Depends on how much you want to do. For something small like that, you could get away with this or potentially another small controller. I have a bigger box in my garage to run the full christmas light show.
Are you wanting to do it to music, or just some cool effects. If just cool effects, you need nothing more than this and the arches (and power and cords).

30A power supply. That oughta produce quite a bit of heat in that box ?? (about 70Watt I figure)
Won't that create an issue?

[@LightsonBrushCreek]

Definitely depends on where the box is located and the climate. It can get warm in there for sure, but fortunately I live where it's not quite so hot. Many people in warmer climates will add a vent or venting fan to the box. Similar to this www.amazon.com/BUD-Industries-IPV-1115-IP32-Vent/dp/B00L3QTZRY?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

@@LightsonBrushCreek It would be ok for christmas lights, since it's winter then.

So I'm less than a minute into the video, and I must say, next video you do try not taking things out of the packaging while you're trying to speak. Just an FYI. Can't hear a dang thing you're saying as you're opening those bags.

@@rockymntsax thanks for the feedback. I had actually put it back in the packing for the video to give it the cool unboxing feel. Noted for next time.
