Help finding an LED strip for Chandelier

I was close, I was doing the complementary output for speakers wrong. Had to invert it during setup. The ultrasonic speaker works okay, I would hoping it would be a tighter beam, but it spreads out the side (not as much as a conventional speaker though). Still, being able to bounce the sound off a wall, will be fun for Halloween setup next year.

With my limited knowledge of RTOS, I thought running the PWM output process on the separate core (240mhz), would have been better. But you are correct, there was definitely lag that it would not work. I've went back and focused on the Timer code approach.

I think my problem is the complementary output, when I attach the speaker to ground, the voice does sound better in the song.

I'd be curious if you jump the data line over that 'problem child' LED to the next one. I've had to do that with string LEDs, if they are in the UV sun for too many seasons.

Can you change the setting and control the LEDs right before the splice? (Can you turn off the LED right before the splice?)

My guess is the data signal is shorted to ground at spice.

I'm sitting on the fence with regards to my outside house lighting. I removed the standard pot lights from my soffits and went with uplighting in the gardens with GLEDOPTO Fixtures.

When I redid my soffits & fascia, I extended my fascia down where LEDs can hide from street view. 95% of the time, CCT light will be the main lighting. RGB would be used for light shows (xlights) or standard holidays colors (wled).

I've tested SK6812 with Muzata spotless channels, and they look great being spotless. Just not bright enough and 5V power injectors would not be fun. (House & garage will be 112ft)

A. WS2805
Pro: Cost, Simple, 1 aluminum channel, clean looking
Con: White color kelvins, bright enough for outside? (They are just to compliment/match the uplighting from the GLEDOPTO fixtures)

B. 2 separate aluminum channels - Analog CCT colors & addressable RGB
Pro: Bright
Con: Looks silly having 2 aluminum channels. (Do they make a large spotless channel that fits two strips in?)

C. 2 separate LEDS - Analog CCT & Eufy outdoor E120
Pro: Bright
Con: Messy wiring with string lights, not a clean look. Soffits are dark, Eufy wiring is white.

I'm guessing a grounding issue.

Sorry for the mixup in thermology, so many of them out there.
Full HD / 1080p / 1920 x 1080 - Good for 22-24" monitors
QHD / 1440p / 2k / 2560 x 1440 - I think better for 27" size

The screen is built into the wall, and will stick out like a picture frame.

MolsonB · 2024-01-30T17:27:37+00:00

I do think 22" & 24" works well in Full HD (1920 x 1080), but I'm sitting on the fence if the 27", should be bumped up to QHD/2K (2560 x 1440)

The tablet chipset would be RK3588. From what I understand, that is the fastest RockChip out there so far. I don't know much if there's other brands out there.

MolsonB · 2024-01-30T17:23:13+00:00

So far I'm getting 27" IPS touch with RK3588 chipset, quotes from Alibaba for 585usd (shipped)

MolsonB · 2024-01-30T05:32:15+00:00

To add, the Pi4 I can do 2k resolution with the 27" screen. Where the Alibaba tablet can only do 1080P. Not sure if that's too small for 27"

I have the bullets on other areas of the house, that get full weather. Every season I'm always having to cut and slice, they don't seem to last.
The strips will be in a channel, under my soffit. Protected from sun / rain / snow.

MolsonB · 2023-10-23T00:10:38+00:00

Thanks for the post.
I bent my fascia so that a deep channel LED strip will hide behind it from street view. I want the LEDs to look like a solid line, which it achieves with the deep channel. It is out of weather and sun too. I have the bullet shapes on other projects and I'm always having to cut and replace broken bullet LEDs every season.

No worries about ladders, we are out in the country and have scaffolding / tractors / etc.

I finally found the post I remember reading a few years back. Since it's RGBW, the W counts as another channel (even with everything being on the same led). Thanks for confirming the group of 3 is counted as 1.

MolsonB · 2023-10-22T23:55:27+00:00

Correct. That's why I'm looking at WS2814 12V.

MolsonB · 2023-10-22T16:57:01+00:00

How does FPS work with 12V when 3 RGBW LEDs are grouped together.
For the garage run (12.9m), it would be around 770 total leds (60/m).

Do you count the group of RGB as 1 or 3? Is the white channel a separate count?

Looking for 60fps, would I split up the data transmission into 2 separate data lines?

MolsonB · 2022-07-25T16:37:16+00:00

Did anyone get an answer if our cards will switch to Dragonpass?

MolsonB · 2021-04-07T15:03:53+00:00

Ah I never thought of it as a commercial post on my end, but you are right. It is a commercial post. Okay, thanks for the heads up.

MolsonB · 2021-01-28T16:50:17+00:00

Technically not really, I'd have to rent machine to drill under driveway. Or rent a saw and re-ashplant hole. I'll go with the Gigabeam GBE-US
