beautiful job

You’re off to a good start there, Buddy !

[@raymundolopez431]

Where did you buy the assembly kit, from the wiredwatts? Or just the Meanwells Power supply? Please advise. Thanks

Wired Watts

[@raymundolopez431]

@@xTremeSequences but you have to reach them in advance to they create the kit for you? I couldn't find the kit in their website

[@xTremeSequences]

@@raymundolopez431 I put the kit together. You would need to contact them.

[@raymundolopez431]

@@xTremeSequences got it, thanks for the advise!

Why are you only using the one 12 volt hook ups off each power supply? Instead of each bank being powered by 1 power supply and only having two power supplies in the box? Assuming you will need to inject power any. Thanks

[@xTremeSequences]

Never assume. I don't power inject at all. Never needed to. You want to separate each side of the boards with separate power.

[@xTremeSequences]

Jonathon, I had to read this again. There are actually four 350w 12v power supplies in the build, not two.

[@brittbyler1092]

You need four power supplys for the whole thing?

[@xtremesequences1965]

If you want independent power for each of the 8 outputs, yes. 4x8=32. The controller has 32 outputs. With 12v I try to stay within 1200 lights per power supply at 20% brightness. Need and want are often subjective in this hobby.

[@brittbyler1092]

@@xtremesequences1965 I have 1200 lights total and im only using 1048 and i have two power supplys hp750w and two breakout boards from jboards jboards.ecwid.com/Server-Power-Supply-Fused-Breakout-Board-p206773264

[@josephroman88]

do you need a power distribution block or additional fuse box for this build?

[@xTremeSequences]

I did not. I do not employ power injection for my 40,000+ pixel light show. Other may.

[@xxrobxx25]

What red and black gauge wire did you use from your power supply to your controller ?

[@xTremeSequences]

10 gauge

[@xxrobxx25]

What would you recommend using on a pihat?

[@xTremeSequences]

Looks like you may have me confused with Rob Howard. I am Ron Howard.

[@xxrobxx25]

Ron Howard oh no lol! I’m sorry if people are tagging your name in my posts on the Facebook xlights group! I can’t help it that my name is one letter different then yours haha. Kinda interesting though. I’ve been asking a bunch of questions cuz I’m new to his hobby since November. This is no troll I swear. Lol

@@xxrobxx25 Too funny! Welcome to the madness.

[@ronchazin7280]

Hey Ron where does the six pixel wine matrix material come from?

[@xTremeSequences]

I have no idea what that is? Six pixel wine matrix?

[@ronchazin7280]

@@xTremeSequences Haha, I meant to type 'wide' not 'wine'. Did you cut the matrix material laying in the Bud box from a larger piece or was it a 6 pixel wide?

[@xTremeSequences]

@@ronchazin7280 So sorry, I get it now. I ended up using a section of one inch strip instead but that piece came to me that way from Holiday Sequences for my pixel poles in 2018.
