Where can I get the controller that uses three leads, a 12 volt + & - and a signal lead?

As far as I know there are two ways to control these light strips- using a 2.5mm center-positive 12v connection, or utilizing the 6803 controller (a much better option in my opinion.) Search for 6803 controller on here or eBay and you'll see them. These strips utilize 4 wires (V+, Gnd, Data, Clock) but also have a barrell jack connector in case you don't get the controller or prefer not to use these to their full capabilities.

A Microcontroller such as a Arduido can provide that with the proper code.It would however need to be programmed.

Im not aware of that... The ones I have seen, use a ribbon style connector and a standard +/- adapter connection. You possibly could rig something up, but the signal requires multiple wires/connections to function.

i think this might help, same issue for me (http://blog.pennybuying.com/down/f/F815A.pdf). Now my issue is finding the 4 wire headers that I can connect from the PIC to the controller board, if you know where i can find those, please return favor. thanks

The controller (if you purchased the controller) takes a 2.1mm x 5mm DC power connector (available at Radio Shack solder-on or on-line as a screw down conductor type), the center pin is +12 Volts the shell is return or - ground. It doesn't malke any difference which end of the string you plug into,,but the key goes to the key on the connector and they must be aligned. you will only be able to plug one 5M string into one controller (otherwise you will over power the controller) the second string will not be the same brightness as the first string, that's why you will need an amplifier to power the second string from the same controller, you run a second 12 volts + & - from the power source and plug the first strips other 4 pin plug into the amplifier and the 2nd string either end into the other side of the amplifier. Hope this helps? Also if you didn't get the controller and remote the white wire is +12 Volts and the colored wires are returned to - depending on the color you want white is all three colored wires to - return.

For one panel any controller that will handle 3 amperes or more. The max output is about 2.8 amperes per panel. More panels in parallel then add up the amperes

It's made for a 24 volt charge controller. If you just have a 12 volt controller get 2 100 watt panels from home depot and wire them in parallel.

That's what I use it for. Mine had a controller of the same size, I just swapped them out. You could also box it in and rig up a plug-in controller.

you should be able to get chassis box, switch and wire hook up at Radio Shack or similar store. good luckhope your led lights will work on 12vdc, otherwise you have to go the inverter route.

Not a problem at all. The controller regulates the voltage to 13 volts since that is the most a 12 volt system can handle.

It uses regular AA batteries for the controller and any 5 volt battery will work for the receiver. You can buy a rechargeable 5 volt battery or you can make your own out of 4 AA batteries. My project was an RC power wheels so I used a step down converter to go from 12v to 5v.

Yeah you can, also, check out the sabrent controller. The blue one. It also comes in a 2-pack, can't go wrong with that. A lot cheaper too.

Zubby,This controller can handle up to 125 open circuit volts input. You can series your panels together to get a theoretical voltage of 96 volts, this will have less voltage drop and give you approximately 10 1/2 amps on the input side of the controller. Your problem is with a 12 volt battery bank your amperages on the output of the controller could exceed 80 amps ( 1000 watts divided by 12 volts equals 83.3 amps ). You would need (2) of these controllers with your present configuration. If it is possible; you could make your 12 volt battery bank into a 24 volt battery bank and get a 24 volt inverter, then you would need only (1) controller.

I think it would be best if you get a connector from amazon. It tells you on the packaging how to wire it to the controller.

The device you control does NOT have to be 12 volts. This controller is powered by 12 volts, but simply closes relay contacts (switches, if you will) to control any other voltage/current within the specs. It is NOT a controller for 12 volt devices, though it can do that.

This listing is for the control panel only. Look for the L3000PK, that includes the controller, a motion sensor, a keyfob and 3 door/window sensors.

haven't seen the controller on Amazon, but yes, you can add a module that passes sound activated info to the strips with these pixels. here is a 12v version: http://goo.gl/n98gcJ if you are not comfortable doing a little soldering or minor electrical work, there are sets that have the sound activation module built in. * note, if you are using the 12v sound module, I'd use the 12v version of the WS2811 lights... they come in 5v and 12v... it saves you time and heartache to use 1 voltage.

this work with RF Controller , you can search in the store qich , or if you want Specificaly connectors , please feel free to email us any time, we are alway here for you

I also wanted to add that battery tender makes quality products. In your searching for controllers you should also look for "solar light controllers" (an older form of simple 12v lighting controllers) you may be able to find some cheap from the big names like morningstar, xantrex etc. that make top notch solar electrical stuff.
