Help me navigate my design for a Noobie

[picklebush]

Thanks everyone for viewing. Here is my concept. What I don't know ....is about everything.

- Gifted Falcon F16v4
- Have concept of a plan
- not sure how many power injections I need on my 12v Ray Wu plan. I think every 200 based on YT videos.

What else do I not know? See attached.

Those white numbers are distances in FEET. I used chat gpt to give me the triangle measurement, since maths are not my strong point.

What am I missing here?

I would suggest dropping the F-Test since you don't really need that, I would consider that a nice to have that is not necessary on a starting budget. the main thing to consider is how are you running your show. Are you planning on running off the F16v4 or a standalone player? if standalone you can use a single board pc (e.g. Beaglebone or raspberry Pi) . Are you planning on having Audio? if so how? physical speaker or radio transmitter? you can calculate how much power you need to power the lights (http://spikerlights.com/calcpower.aspx) then buy the appropriate Power supplies to cover your need. Are you handy with a soldering Iron? if so you can make your own splices but need to buy shrink sleeves and cable, else you can use ClickIts (https://experiencelights.com/clickits-super-fast-pixel-splicing/#/) but will still need cable. I think you should reflect these things on your budget since this Hobby can easily blow your budget on peripherals and installation supplies
