🎄I GOT NEW PIXELS!!! 🎄(2020)
The annual pixel order came in and I can build some props! Starting off with some modular matrix panels.
🎄5V RGB Pixel Power Injection & Prop Build (2019) 🎄
I built a large 4’x16′ pixel matrix using Chroma Mesh from Boscoyo and 1,024 5V pixels. I show how to model this in xLights to get the wiring plan and I built is as a single string of lights using one controller connection. This requires a lot of power injection. but it’s pretty easy to do on a matrix.

Finishing up preps on the sticks, I encountered a perfect power injection example. I also created a cable snake for the line from the controller to the first pixel.
Falcon F-Amp RGB Pixel Data Signal Booster (2018)
The Falcon F-Amp is an RGB data signal booster you can use between props or within props to boost the data signal. I’ll show you how I’m planning to use these this year. Thanks to David at PixelController, LLC for sponsoring this episode!
