Hi All
Been a year or so since I have actively done anything big in the hobby.
Now I am trying to ramp back up for this year.
I have my plans and need to buy some smart strings.
Gesshhh those shipping charges kill it.
I read on here that you can message Ray and get a combined shipping discount.
Will definitely try that and if anyone has any suggestions on how to get price down, that is much appreciated.
That said, I have some questions, as I cannot seem to find what I am looking for on Rays site.
1. Do dumb strings come in a count of 128?? (Why not?)
2. Do dumb strings come in the new flat arrangement, instead of the wires coming out the one end. The new arrangement looks so much better and i have zero interest in messing with waterproofing.
3. Any real difference between the black and color wire?
4. How in the world do you tell if a string will work with Lynx hardware? Smart string or dumb? The wiki says to make sure the dumb string says Common Anode, but i cannot find that on Rays site anywhere. All i see is the 4 wire variety. For smart strings, should i just look for TM1804IC or do others work also?
5. It appears I am at least 1 Dumb String Controller and 1 Active/Passive (4 or 16 port) hub short, is there equivalent hardware that will work just the same that can be bought from Ray?
Analogize if this is covered elsewhere.
I saw the other post looking to confirm which lights work, and update the links on the wiki.
That will be awesome, and I will glady wait, but thought I would get my questions out there for consideration, should the answers warrent inclusion on the wiki.
Thanks in advance.
