Ahhhh   ok  thanks.
I am not sure I can find the current specs on these strips.  So if I turn it on full intensity white and use a meter to measure the current, I can make more educated decision later.

I am sorry...  I guess I should rephrase my question....

Whe it comes to power insertion.  In my example do I use the 240 actual LED count or the 80 chip count?

But what about power insertion?

All controllers and sequencers only want to know how many controllable pixels there are so it's 80 everywhere.

Yes  but what about for current and power insertion reasons...? Doesn't the 16V3 need to know this?

General Software / Pixel Strip LED count question

« on: September 11, 2017, 11:09:29 AM »

I have a question concerning LED counts on pixels strips.

Let's say I have a strip that has, for example, 240 LEDs on it and I plan to use it in a HUGE arch.  (I know.. this is a made up case for this question).   Anyways, 3 LEDs are controlled by one chip on this strip.
SOOOOOOOOO  when I want to tell XLights how many LEDs there are on this strip, I think I have to tell it 80.  Which would be 240LEDs divided by the 3LEDs per chip... 
But now for current reasons, how many LEDs do I tell the 16V3.  240 or 80?

Thanks

Do You Need Help? Post it here / models from 32 bit to 64 bit

Hi
If I make a model in 32 bit Xlights. Will I be able to bring it in to 64 bit Xlights later?  And, later, bring it back to work on it in my 32 bit laptop?

Thanks
Pierre
