Easy run addressable LED pixels

For this project, I used 50 pieces of addressed pixel RGB LED , SD controller and 5V 3.5A power supply.
The unit of work gives a very good impression, inflames the imagination and raises the general atmosphere.

Of course, from yours video creations depends on most. If you have the minimum skills in dealing with vector programs or video creations you work with AVI and other video formats, then you can try in the programming of the LED pixels on your way... Programs of LED producers have to use, but only as a translator of your animation or video file.

Step 1: Mounting LED pixels

For this project I used a plastic sewer pipe as a carrier pixels. Pixels are mounted in the tube from the middle towards the ends from the practical reasons (length of pipe over 1m).
Pixels are usually planned for installation in 12mm hole.
I set the pixels in the 5 columns by 10 rows. It is important to hold the default order pixels. This order will make later in the program for programming LED.
When you mount the pixels, connect them to the output of the SD controller, connecting the pixels to the power supply 5V 3.5A (per pixel is required 60mA current, mean total consumption is 3A). Power is always good to take zza 30 to 50% stronger than the actual value needed.

Pixels are from China. I bought them over the internet, at a cost $ 0.57 with transport costs and import prices reached around $ 1. Do you mean the actual address?

If you could send the web address that would be awesome (or contact info), the best price I could find is $150 for 5m string.
And with the amount that I want thats not gonna happen..

Thanks in advance
