So you want to start your own lightshow. Welcome to the community! We’ll attempt to show you some of the basics and sources for more info in our “101” series.
Next up, Controllers!
There are many options, and many opinions on which are the best. LOL Here is a list of controllers to look at:
Falcon Controllers – One of the originals! Drive Pixels and DMX Kulp Controllers – Runs from a Pocket Beagle, giving it the processing job San Devices ESPartsticks ESPpixelsticks Light-O-Rama Pixel2Things AlphaPix HinksPix WLED Advatek
There are many more options out there, these are just the “big boys” that have a dominance in the current community. Nutcraker123 has a great comparison chart of RGB controllers that drive 16 or more strings, take a look.
Years as travel editor for a NYC newspaper shaped my understanding of several special things. I love to convey the wonder and "whoa's!" of places I go, and I am always eager to share relevant tips to people like me, mainly etiquette and emotions.
