Currently I am looking for 1,280 nodes.

If coast comes down, and the new dongle comes out I may up the amount. Originally I wanted 2,500 nodes, then reality sank in.

RJ,

I'll base my response on dollars. About $2000 worth of NODES, plus the additional amounts for dongles, hubs, controllers to complete things.

So, if if node price is as low as .50 / node I'm in for about 4,000 nodes. If on the other hand node price is as high as .75 per node, then I can only afford 2,666 nodes.

I'm very interested in node types other than the basic "RGB LED on a string" that you have shown us. CCR type strips, spots, floods, wall washes, etc are of great interest, but those type lights may (will, I'm sure) have a different per node price point than the basic smart strings.

I'll be considering between 1200 and 2000 depending on price and other light options you might surprise us with...  <;d

1200 - 1500 nodes for me,  depending on price on the first co-op.

if another one is run later on in the year then maybe more in that too.

Just an FYI,

 Not sure where a few of you are coming up with $.50 a node. Please reread the thread if you are basing your numbers on that and them update if needed.

Thank you.

I was also wondering about that. I thought it was .63 per node plus shipping from China along with the normal fees.

I believe the following info is correct:
Pixelnet Hub 16 - about $30.00 each
Pixelnet SSC - about $8.00 each
Nodes - $0.63 each (plus shipping from China)

Nodes shown so far spacing = 3.5 inches

RJ,

Hard to estimate specially since I am really interested in a flat strip for a matrix and the price of that would override this estimate but a safe bet for regular nodes right now probably around 256 nodes.

I think I could swing 1500 nodes. I need to go in and rethink a design I have in my head before I have a hard number.

Still not sure on the funding but if things work out I am looking at ~2400 nodes with 2 hubs and 12 SSCs.
