This video is awesome! Thank you! What are your thoughts on using a combination of Pucks, Pixels & Strips. I'd like to find a way to utilize a mix of all. Would I need to use a different controller for each light type or could I just isolate the light type to a port? For example, I like how pucks look shining down on the side of the house. I also like how diffused strips look with effects. I would like to run the pucks and strips along side each other and then use pixels solely for yard props. Have you seen any setups like this?
My thoughts? I have said this a hundred times, the best way is what works for you. If they are all ws28xx protocol you can not only use them all on the same controller, but on many of the newer controllers (Kulp, Falcon) you can even mix them on the same port! (That might not always work depending on the pixel timing, you will have to test it out). Just be careful with strips, they are a PAIN to modify/fix.... But it sounds like a great plan.
Very well done. Your explanation & cost comparison matrix made it all so much clearer.
Thanks, I am glad it helped!
Love everything you are doing to help grow our addictive hobby. Take it slow and eat the elephant one bite of a time.
I hope it helps!
Great video!!
Thanks and I hope it helped in your decision making!
Great Video Sir, I was looking at pixel controllers, and your youtube jumped up. This answers a lot. Glad you are staying busy after retirement.
Thanks! and enjoy your new hobby!
