RGB nodes

[devoidelk]

I was browsing online at the cost of some nodes and ran across You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login and was wondering if those could be wired together and connected to a SSC?

I think those nodes are worth the price considering shipping would be considerably lower since they ship from within the US.

NO.

The sscs are designed to work with the nodes in the wiki. There are multiple types of node each with its own protocol, voltage, speed, etc. If you don't buy from the wiki, don't complain when it doesn't work. Search the forums, this is discussed in excruciating detail.

Those are dumb strings. They would work with the DSC.

Ray has some for $.25 per node, much better than $.99, but of course shipping will be a factor

These are dumb strings. You do not have control of the individual nodes.

These are compatible with any 12v 3 channel (or more) controller.
- dsc
- mr16
- aliexpress 27 channel DMX controller
- holiday coro 3 channel DMX controller
Etc.

I have some from Ray. They are not as well sealed as the ones pictured on Holiday Coro.
While they don't have a TM1804 IC chip in them, rain could still cause corrosion and eventual failure.
I elected to seal mine with silicone caulking. It took awhile, but should improve my reliability. Certainly didn't hurt.

200 nodes took me several hours to stretch (to open and expose the gap) and then seal. Given the choice, I'd go Holiday Coro next time.
