5 of 5 AlphaPix Controller December 8, 2020
Reviewer: ROBERT HARPER from MISSOURI CITY, TX United States  
First foray into holiday lighting shows and I went with the simplest controller that I think would do the job.  Setup instructions on the website were clear and I was able to test pixels right away.  Getting things working with a Pi 3B+ took a bit but no fault of HolidayCoro.  Item was as described and the quality of the workmanship is high.
