For once, I can hardly wait for this Christmas to be over and next to roll around! Though I don't know if I'm more excited to use these strings for Christmas or the Halloween haunt!
One quick question:
As I understand it, there was mention of getting smart strings in various lengths. I assume we also buy the controller board, a component kit, then assemble the board, solder it to the string, etc to form the complete unit?
If we're putting the stuff together, is there any chance to just buy the nodes in bulk...say a reel of 1,000 then be able to cut off the exact amount needed - up to the 128 node max stipulated earlier?
My main worry is the thought of framing doors/windows - obviously coming up short is bad, so you'd have to order more than needed and trim. But then what of the dozen strings of 10, 12, 15 nodes - hack all those back together to make one Frankenstein string?
Well, back to more reading in the wiki!
