What kind of led sign do you have that lets lsp control it and how did you even get lsp to work right without glitching. Are you using 681 boards. I have 2 681 boards and 4 renards nothing but a headache .

The matrix is just digital strip, instructions on how to build it are here http://auschristmaslighting.com/foru...pic,148.0.html

Im using a mix of controllers including the E680, LOR controllers running in DMX, cheap dmx chinese controllers, 2 x ECG-DR4's plus a few others types of controllers, but all E1.31 and DMX

As far as getting LSP to run that wasnt hard, i just have lots of experience with it and used it last year with 2200 channels and RGB, so the second year was much easier

You can do it with just 6803 strip and the E680/1, in fact this year i removed the CCR controllers from the matrix and instead ran it with a E680 controller. The CCR strip is actually a 6803 strip anyway.

So im correct here you purchased 4 - 6803 strips at $65 and used a 681 board right? And how big did the screen end up being. Sorry if you posted the size somewhere else and i missed it. THx
