i agree pex looks good i made some and like them. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

I built three arches this year with 1" x 10' PEX. I thought they turned out pretty good. Also, HD is pretty good about returns so you can try it...

here is what i use on plug ends. for power supplys u can use rain proof out door 12v or 5v power supplys. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

Yeah maintenance is already a consideration. My original plan was to use channels & strip but I threw that away once I considered what a royal PIA...

I've done the side-by-side comparison of HDPE versus PEX (Sharkbite), and much prefer the PEX, both in terms of how the light is more diffused and...

OP, there are a few built/assembled and used AC light controllers available in the Buy/Sell/Trade section. That's an option as well. I just started...

Just something to remember about a "permanent" install, Pixels will fail, so make sure that your "permanent" lights can be easily removed so you can...

Thank you. I was told the strings could not be cut which didn't make sense to me. Thanks again.

As mentioned: For DATA the key here is distance from the controller to the FIRST pixel. You don't have to worry about controller to last pixel. ...

Not sure what their current offerings are, but I've had great luck with True Value Hardware. If you have one near you, they usually have 20 foot...

StickyWicket and UncleDan thanks for the reply. After researching I think I am going to follow the Boscoyo wiring diagram. Having the DI and DO at...

I am about to do the same.

David Peace was also selling a "Pixel2AC" board that would give you 9 AC channels using 3 "Pixel".

Pi Zeros can be a main player, but a Pi3 or better yet a Pi4 will work much better. For me, the pi Zero is to slow for me to be patient with. I...

To get the extra distance, you add an "f-amp" (or null-pixel) to the middle of the cord going to the pixels, it will regenerate the data signal and...

I got my first couple shipments of stuff for my project. Controllers and power supplies have arrived. Pixels should be in the mail this week...

Appears you are not using the latest release. Maybe should start by loading Release 4.6. Release 4.6: ...

Driver options are only: External or Linux Kernel . . . no other. Martin: driver, not WiFi.

Yes. You could put 3 strings of 50 each together (cut and solder to fit). If you use 12v you could likely get away with powering from one end but I...

My Master Pi is a P3b, but it only drives the audio/video (no pixels). All my remotes (driving the pixels) are PiZero--7 total PiZero in my show.

Thanks for the replies. I saw the video with the Cat5 but I'm a bit dubious of swapping around my cords around since I"m using largely holiday coro...

Are you guys using the pi zero as your main FPP player?
