Thank you. Yes I believe that this will look like a truncated cone - a cone with a flat/blunt top (similar to...

Yes I am familiar with the strips. I will be using strips with 2" node spacing spacing.

I ran 1-750 watt 62.5 amp power supply and 2 Renard SS off one circuit running 1,600 pixels at 25%. Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk

Bills will be higher when you let your controllers and power supplies run 24/7. I had about 6,000 pixels, a 4x4 P10 and LED's and my bill went up...

Before going solar my 100% pixel display cost me about $30 a NIGHT to run. Wife wasnt happy because my main selling point on pixels was energy...

I agree with using broken LED strings as extension cords. Also, you can snip the male/female plugs off both ends, along with as much wire as you...

I have them proxied but I added those networking command lines because of the way the Sandevices controllers act sometimes when being called or...

@todd1814 I looked at the specs for the LRS-350-12/LRS-350-5 earlier and it said 115V/6.8A. https://www.meanwell.com/productPdf.aspx?i=459 So based...

Check out the manual for the F48 (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sAzoFztiKdI3BPDl_Kegu28DKKlIM4PlSNaCNvvDtgk/edit) page 16 (Section 3.2.3)....

Current draw at 120v is different from rated current at 12v or 5v. For example, the LRS-350-12 supplies 29 amps at 12 volts using 348 watts. To...

Hey Popo - I thought you moved to Idaho? The Chromatrim, if used, adds quite a bit of support to the PVC.

I just can't imagine being able to fit 32 strings on a 180 degree tree unless you have a huge topper........... I used to have a 32 string 360 degree...

Greetings Mike! Appreciate your response to my question. I did not realize the Falcon F48 supports Renard boards directly instead of through...

If you're in a warm climate, you need to support the PVC more frequently, especially if it's in direct sunlight.

Greetings Tom! I have not heard of Renard boards, just found another research project! Since you confirm an AC controller board will be...

Half of a 64 string (360 degree) topper would be 32 string (180 degree). Idea is to put all 32 string facing forward (180 degree). The plan was to...

Why might you need a 64 string topper for a 32 string tree? Are you planning to use mounting strips? If so, they take up just over an inch in...

I use both on my home. PVC works great on gutters and fascia, as long as it is supported every 3-4'. EMT works great for verticals as it does not...

Actually one more thought, if I'm using the K8 FPP for my scheduler and I shutdown the BB I'll lose my show timing right? I'd have boot it back up...

Since it is based on FPP, doing a shutdown within FPP would help ensure you don't corrupt the SDCARD. Then just turn the controller or power supply...

@todd1814 This is encouraging. I have outlets in the eaves and I think the ones upstairs and downstairs are independent. So I should have easy access...

You don't need to mess w/ your router settings with the newer versions of FPP, they have a "Proxy" setting where can add the IP address of your...

Sorry, didn't see this before. I prefer these, in the vertical layout: https://jboards.ecwid.com/Server-Power-Supply-Basic-Breakout-Board-p130226822

You shouldn't need to.
