Review on 🌈 Rextin WS2811 Pixels Digital Addressable LED String Lights: Waterproof, RGB Full Color, 12mm, DC 12V - (DC12V 50pcs) by Carrie Green

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The software is incomprehensible bullshit.

Although the preset programs worked fine and the controller functions worked, you need to install LED EDIT 2012 or newer (in fact 2014 was the only one with this model specifically listed) , and if you've never encountered terrible interfaces, get ready. First, you can't find an official software distributor, so rely on patchy download sites to even get the latest version. , because the version on the SD card has a bad installer for DotNetFX. The API makes very little sense and you can't optimize it for long dedicated ads. It is assumed that you will create a grid. The English is lousy, the layout features don't make sense, and the flash player is used to view and record the animation. It's not worth buying. There are many better ways to control the WS2811. stripes. Don't fall for this archaic, ugly, proprietary device. Take a Pi or an Arduino.

Pros
