Smart String Coop

[RJ]

I am not ready for the coop. In fact I have some parts coming to build a Dongle to use to show off the new types of leds for the Smart String controller so you do not even know what all will be avaliable.

But,


I need to get a rough idea of how much of the nodes we will be looking at on the coop. The pcbs for the controllers ect are not an issue.

So I am starting this post, this is not a coop post and you are not putting an order in by posting here.

You will be required to post again in the actual coop when the time comes to be entered into the coop.
If you intend to purchase any of the RGB nodes for the Smart String on the coop please post with an idea of how many nodes total.

This is not strings but nodes. For example if I were going to get 4 string of 128 nodes then I would post that I want 512 nodes.

Please try to keep it to what you really are likely to get and not what you would like to be able to buy. This is so I can get a better idea on how the coop will operate and cost.

im committed to 2000 pixels currently but that might grow before the end of the year

Assuming your estimates at around $.63 a node (in the original post) is close, I will only be able to swing a paltry 128 nodes (plus a few spares so lets say 138 total).  I already have the dedicated dongle PCB for this on the way.

I wish you had included a guideline summary without my having to go back and reread the whole SS annoucement for the details which I will get to.  I know that I want to replace two 90 ft strings of lights, one for my roof top and one for my gutters, but need to figure out how many nodes that would be and how many controllers that would require.

If my math is correct, you need 617 nodes

200ish.
