Candy Cane Lane Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 hey all I am currently ordering some more gear for my display. I am going to add a 24x50 matrix. I am also going to add more pixels for the house. 32 - 50 count strands of the bulb RGB. Can a pixie 16 run 32 strands of 50 count?? Or do I need to go to the pixcon 16. Also going to make 8 arches so going to go with the ribbon and a pixie 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrant Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 The Pixcon16 is a powerful device. I have two of them and frankly, I need two more. You can't go wrong with the Pixcon16. I've been able to run cables from it out to 30-40 feet without issue whereas other controllers(different manufacturers) that I have, I'm limited to 5-7 feet. Each of the different kind of controllers have their pros and cons. I don't currently own a Pixie controller so I cannot speak for those. One of my suggestions to LOR was to find a way to allow the Pixcon16 to have different configurations, therefore setting it up for Halloween then switching to a Christmas configuration. Currently it has to be done manually but they liked the idea so we may see that capability in the future. I do use one of my pixcon16's for Halloween a 24x50 matrix but the portions I'm not using, I configured for Christmas(RGB Spiral trees). It works nicely.
