Can someone smarter than me please explain exactly what a "smart string" is? What is a RGB node? I looked at RJ's video and that helped but I am still unsure about this. What makes this better than using a LE?
I don't think I am smarter but I'll give it a shot to answer your questions:
RGB node = Red Green Blue Leds in one container
This allow you to mix the leds output to create any color you like. The same way TVs work, iPhone, etc
So one string of RGB leds could replace many strings of lights to do the same thing along with enhance it with more color options. Like a mega tree, lights around your windows or doors etc.
No one has said Smart String is better than LE it just works different
LE's are AC while SS is dc
But like anything in this world. There are pros and cons
One con is more work in sequencing since you now have to do 3 channels per light (3 x 128 nodes = 384 channels * how many strings or SSC you need) Of course you can have less then 128 per string that is just a example.
Hope that helps some
Did you see RJ's write ups in the Wiki?
