How It Works
- Connect a 5V power supply to the controller.
- Wire your pixel strips across the 8 output ports.
- Connect your phone to the controller's WiFi network.
- Open the control panel in your browser and set your matrix size and port layout.
- Upload animations to the SD card or send live text over WiFi.
Power Supply (SMPS) โ How Many You Need
Big pixel displays need heavy-duty 5V 80A (400W) SMPS. As a rule of thumb, use about one 5V 80A SMPS per ~1,000 LEDs, connected at the power-injection points so brightness stays full across the entire display.
| Approx LEDs | SMPS Needed |
|---|---|
| ~2,000 | 2 ร 5V 80A |
| ~4,000 | 4 ร 5V 80A |
| ~8,000 (full 8-port) | 8 ร 5V 80A |
