![]() ![]() It is always better to start with the specific project, then work back through the lights, then to the controller, the interface, the software and so on. We normally don't like to start with a list of hardware and then say it "will work" because we have no idea if it will work. So, you'll need to learn to solder - and I don't think you'll find it a hard process. Today, in 2015, it is hard to make a good case from going with dumb RGB for a house outline in all but few cases. Dumb controllers can only control a string of lights, not individual lights within the string. The basic jist is that - pixels and RGB require custom solutions in many cases (covering eaves, pixel trees, etc) meaning that pixel density, lengths, wiring, power and other factors come into place and there isn't anything you can pull "off the shelf" and have it work correctly for your display. Smart pixel controllers are able to control each light or small section of lights individually. I cover this in an article - Cheap Isn't Free When It Comes to RGB (). I often see customers that don't want to solder but want to move into pixels and I explain that this usually isn't possible.
