WilliamS Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I would like to see how this is setup, controllers vs the software, I have 24 fixtures I think this would be nice to see on. I was going to do 3 colors but for a similar cost if I can do 16 million why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each controller gives you 5 channels of RGB . You can put multiple strips on one channel with the proper power supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joefrick Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 any suggestions as to what power supplies are available?the strips im looking at are 12 volt, its says 2amps per color. ill probably need about 20-5 meter "dumb" RGB Strips i would spread that over 2 DC controllers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristmasCanada Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 I was able to buy 5 amp power supplies from Canadian Tire. The power supplies are used for mobile coolers and only cost 25.00 each. I was able to run roughly 8 16f strips off (2) 5 amp power supplies with no problems.

DLTSLC Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Wu's Aliexpress sells controllers I believe for $19 plus shipping? It might have been a sale though, but that's pretty cheap, especially if you have to buy several! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
