Raspberry Pi 3 GPIO & WS281X

In the wiki it says that model 3 can support up to 48 strings, web gui still says GPIO 18 + 19, 24 strings per GPIO sounds much or how do I connect?

I'm pretty sure that is an error and should say 2 strings.  Along time ago I think it was 48 nodes per output, but that has been upped to at least 1000 per output.  Of course that is just the data and not power.

Thanks, I may get it a try.

Ok, thanks Jim.

you are limited to 800 to 1000 pixels per output.  Pi ver3 can support two outputs.  Will need a converter to boost output from 3.3 v to 5v.
