LE Alternatives

<< < (3/3)

I thought I would weigh in here.

While I do have props that are Pixel based, there are just certain things that do not look right and I still use 110v strings for the asthetics.  With advances in software to program the shows it doesn't make it much more difficult to use 110v or pixels and that is making my life easier:)

Having said that, I do have cases where I will pick up minleon versions of the controllers, but a stick point with me has always been the wireless piece.  I have a large yard and a driveway in the middle and don't want to bury cable so wireless has been great for 3 sections of my yard and a 110v wireframe rope light prop that i put in my neighbors yard.  Without wireless LE's I would not be able to do this.

If memory serves, and I am getting older;), RJ was having issues sourcing parts that were not surface mount in order to continue the LE's.

While I would really like to see LE coop's continue, I need 5 more this year, and I really enjoy building them, I could make due with a minleon that has a wireless option.

Anyone know how to get feature requests into Minleon?

Can we still do some LE coop's?

Just my .02

Mike.

I really doubt that you will see any other coops here.  There are other ways to get your signal around.  All you really need is one LE in each area with a wireless daughter board and you can simply cable from it to your other controllers.  If that doesn't work, you can also use a few Raspberry Pi's running FPP to deal with your wireless connections.  The PI with FPP is in a way like a hyper advanced Conductor.  You load your show files on the PI's and make one the master.  It will control the remotes over WIFI.  If you add a PI hat to the PI, it will be able to control 2 strings of smart nodes and output a full universe of either Renard, LOR, or DMX.  It can also control one or more ETD's if needed or any other E1.31 controller thru its Ethernet port.
