What Controller
« on: January 16, 2022, 01:04:06 PM »
Hello all,
I am Twannie from the Netherlands / Europe and i am making a mobile tree of 2 meters high and 1 meter in diameter. For that I want to use between 1600 and 2000 5v ws2811 pixels, but maybe it will be ws2812 or ws2813 LED strips. The sequence is played with music and I only want to use it stand-alone.

Which controller is best to use for this?
Have read a lot here on the forum and know that a lot of people love the Falcon f16v4, but isn't it too big for what I want? Also its everywhere out of stock.

The Falcon is a great controller, and highly recommended. The Falcon guys are also a big supporter of xLights. So supporting them and supports our hobby.
Is it bigger than what you need? Well, probably. But the price is still competitive. And if you are like most of us, you will find reasons to use more of it later. This time of year, it will be out of stock for a bit.
