DMX512 vs Art-Net: 4 Questions to Decide
DMX512 vs Art-Net is a wiring decision, not a speed contest. Four questions — pixel count, port count, offline operation, on-site Ethernet — settle it.
Addressable LED Driver IC Guide: WS, SK, TM & UCS Compared
Which addressable driver IC to specify — WS2811, WS2812B, WS2815, SK6812, TM1814, UCS1903 — and how Art-Net, DMX512 and SPI change what you can build.
Driver ICs & Protocols
SK6812 vs WS2812B: Which Chip for RGBW?
SK6812 vs WS2812B: the only real difference is the RGBW white channel. Compare protocol, power, voltage drop and PWM, then spec the right chip for your project.
WS2811 vs WS2812B: Which Driver IC to Spec
WS2811 vs WS2812B for real installations: why the IC is not the voltage, what the 3-LED cut unit costs you, run lengths, repairs, and how to spec each one.
