Smart String Coop

[JerryPlak]

Thank you RJ   <res.

[scharbon]

I'll want 3*128= 384 nodes when this becomes a coop.  Thanks RJ

[gjbankos]

I'm thinking 550 nodes...

[Tom619]

RJ,

I would be interested in 960 nodes. I'd like to replicate your 16 string  by 60 nodes example for a tree.

Thanks!

Tom

If at .50 Im in at 1000

Please read the information they are not $.50

Would someone show me where it says $.50 other than the users here saying this.

Ever play that game "telephone" when you were younger... As the message makes it around the loop it is morphed from what was originally indicated...
Very humorous...

My neighbor has decided that in addition to allow me to use his flag pole that abuts my property for my mega-tree next year, he is also sponsoring the smart strings to go on it, so I shall bump my order up to 2176.

[NickelJay]

256 nodes to start

[tthompson]

I'll be up for 2000 nodes.

[magic8192]

around 700

[txburr]

Depending on the end cost when this gets to coop, I would love to get my hands on some.  I am thinking 1500-2000 node count area.

Please let me know

RJ, I think I accidentally started that rumor - my bad - Please forgive me.  I read your "around $.63 a node" in the original thread and rounded it down my head.  But in my defense, I view .63 as AROUND .50 (close enough for government work).

I still want 128 nodes and two controllers.  If the hub is the only way to inject the power, then one hub but I would prefer to inject the power myself without a hub unless the hub does some sort of signal work and is needed.

I will be in for at least 1000, possibly 1500

So it was YOU !!

Well no dancing with the green women for two weeks as punishment!

Hub splits the signal out from the dongle to the up to 16 different SS strands from what I have read along with injecting the power unless you are going to have a dongle per strand, which doesnt seem to feasible.

OK ok.. I will take his green women then, but just this once.  The things we do for the community.    (/end sarcasm)

I am going to estimate about 512 - 768 because need to measure the distance in the display I have in mind for next year... For the first year this has been a whirl wind intro from LEs to Aethers... (4 of which as still needing to be built   but hey never too late for the New Year's show)


Are half nodes an option if we just want like red and blue on one node   <yk..
 <la..

Sorry that is a JOKE people... dont' want to see half nodes posted farther down for .50 cents or a .25 or something...  <rtt..

Anyway THANKS RJ for all the hard work... it has let all of us bring a lot of smiles to people's faces watching our displays... and thanks to all the coop managers this year, and mail people delivering the packages... and.... yeah okay that is enough...

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE...

Mike

I count ~78400 (using the lower ends of people's estimates).  That is almost $50k at $0.63.
