This year we’ll be using new controller boards for our improved mega tree. Last year we used individual controllers for each string of lights, which worked but caused some headaches trying to keep everything waterproof. These new controllers fit nicely into the same waterproof boxes we use for our other controllers. Each of these new boards control up to 16 strands of lights. Last year we used 14 strands of lights. We’ll be doubling that this year. Since one strand goes up and then back down, it will appear as 56 strands of 50 pixels for a total of 2800 pixels.
