I think you may have paul zhang's store link incorrect, it leads to a blank store

Two things. You can get extenders for your wifi to help cover your garage. But if you are thinking about using wifi for your show network (more than...

Are you trying to figure out how to change your existing layout or how to create a custom model? Personally, I think I would try a polyline with...

Also worth noting, the LOR controllers, although significantly more expensive, come prebuilt and will run in DMX mode and are easily controlled from...

Unless you get them used, Renards are generally available only in kit form. There's currently two main branches of the renard products. The SS...

Sounds fast...Would it be able to read serial data and interpret it 120 times per second? So, for example you could have a very smooth ramp using a...

Uncledan said above that he's using 12V. As am I. Seriously though, for what you're talking, you'll be less than $30 in power increase for the...

Most "Renard controllers" utilize the "Renard Protocol" for the data protocol and RS485 (some also support RS232) for communication. Most of the...

I think there's still an appreciable AC audience. But I do think that we're at the point now where the discovery about our hobby happens elsewhere,...

Wow, this sounds awesome...I'm interested. I have to say though...yes, things these days are mostly pixels...but I do think there is a really big...

100k pixels is insane... If I get to 1/10th of that it will be huge! So I guess then it is about $3/day or $100 for December. That puts it back into...

It's important to note that UncleDan described a show that's over 100k pixels. That's a very large show. If you have a show that big, you're likely...

@pmiller $35 per night or for the months of December? It sounds like for the month since you said 'bill'. So far all numbers were pretty reasonable,...

@pmiller considering the specs of your PSU I assume you are using all 12V pixels. Do you know approximately how many amps you are pulling from either...

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...
