It's been real slow, especially here lately. I feel like with the advent of so many new RGB items and even RGB hardware ... that were entering a new 'bleeding edge' phase of sorts. All these options are allowing people enough freedom to go shoot themselves in the foot very easily. Personally I'm trying to stay with ONLY the DLA wiki approved RGB items because its far easier to get derailed chasing technology or low cost ... and changing hardware is painful also. Since I am already very into Lynx and Smart strings it only complicates things for me to expand that now. IMHO, following the KISS principle is very beneficial to this hobby -- follow it and you'll be much happier and waste less money. RJ created this site to make DIY more approachable to a larger (less technical) crowd with designs that largely help protect you from yourself. Lately, I'm hearing a lot of people dealing with voltage or injection issues that RJ really solved with the smart strings ... and while its nice to be able run more than 128 nodes on a string, doing so entails certain risks and knowledge that you know what your doing. A lot DON'T -- so again, having a design that protects that masses isn't a bad thing in my book, because so many will go and shoot themselves in the foot when they don't understand things well enough, then they end up wasting money and time and getting frustrated. Not only do I stay to the WIKI list of RGB items, I'm specifically using just the SS Nodes and SS Flex Strips .... because I get frustrated with the differences between certain node types. Example: I did put DLA wiki approved SS RGB Square Modules into some "mega balls" and also put DLA wiki approved SS RGB Rectangular Modules into some other "mega balls" ... and honestly because those are different from the nodes ... it causes me a lot of un-necessary micromanagement. I've also got one Northstar running HolidayCoro 3ch RGB modules via. DMX and again, these one-off items are very PITA looking back it. Had I followed KISS, I could have dones these with nodes just as easily. I am encouraged by the new hardware that places like Falcon Christmas are doing but again, to switch to that entails certain costs and complexity that I don't need to take on right now. Right now the Zeus ver.2 addresses everything I care about and allows me to keep things simple. I value that. I have a pile of RGB junk that cost a lost of money because I did the same thing (chasing various node types and hardware controllers) -- and I'm done throwing money away chasing technology.
