Please consider doing a video on setting up the audio broadcast portion with a Kulp controller (i.e. attaching an antenna, how it looks/fits in the box, and how to program the antenna). I have looked around youtube and can't find a good video addressing it. Thanks for the consideration!

Great information. In fact I am going to check out that Dragon 8. Why do you keep looking to your right? It is kind of distracting. JustSaying.

What is Show Player and why is it so important to you?

@LearnChristmasLighting Жыл бұрын

Because it allows you to play your show back without any other computer AND allows you to run your controllers wirelessly)

Are the controllers you mention here comparable with the ws2812b? I’m new to this hobby and just getting started, so I don’t want to buy something that isn’t comparable.

Yes, anything that is compatible with WS2811 will work, it's the same data signal
