I do get tired of users showing up complianing that the item offered at DLA is not exactly what they want. If that is the case go find what you want.

I think you got me all wrong here, I'm not complaining in the least bit. I LOVE what you are doing, I said that, and I am grateful you are sharing it with us. I stated why I was unhappy using what I have been and that I thought this was a solution! I started this thread before I saw this, the video kietha referenced:

I think that the node strings on 3.5" spacing are exactly what everyone wants and needs for their mega trees. That's great. but I think different pixels are better for other display items. I'm loving the idea of the rigid pixels used for the tricks panels and the 3 led square pixels are nearly identical to the firefli. What I was saying is that I like the SS controller and setup, and that I think it's even more versatile with the ability to use it with other pixels, not just the node strings. At $8 per controller I want a bunch of them! That's why I said in my last post, I hope these other pixels are also available in the group buy in addition to the node strings. I know that you are using different "chips" in the nodes and I'm glad that you showed us the other pixel types available with the same "chip". just like you gave the cost comparison on a traditional RGB mega vs. the super string mega, I think that doing a comparison with other things would be great. For instance, most of the square pixels I have seen are about $1.80 each. for a 16 pixel string of the square pixels that's $29. with a Super String controller that's $36! A firefli is $160! and I'm not limited to just 16 pixels, I could run up to 128 (not sure on the voltage draw on the larger pixels, that could be waaay wrong) and have a long strip along the roof that would do any color. My head is spinning with the possibilities.
