I’m running a biofurification m.2. card that was $30 and it’s amazing, might want to try it if your motherboard supports it. Bifurcation is the ability for the motherboard to split individual pci-e lanes into multiple groups that can be used by many devices at once. The cost of m.2. pci-e cards plummets if it relies on the motherboard for that.
It’s from a company called Konyead, it’s their 4 slot m.2. ssd to pcie 4.0 x16 adaptor.
I want a 3d printer. I’m designing my own POE Led lighting system for my living room, halls, closets etc, and running all the lights in my house “poe ++” and a smart home software control center with poe light switches that control lights by ethernet based on how they’re assigned in the software.
So if I want to I’ll be able to change what a 3 switch plate does, maybe it’s christmas and I want to swap switch 3 from turning on my sprinklers to turning on off my projector, w/e.
I want to design all the switch cases, light pod cases, etc and 3d print everything.
My living room will have 9 poe led pods in the ceiling, all RGB W/C white. I have build a media pc that is our tv’s “android” set top box, and I have an hdmi pass through capture card in it, so I want to be able to use the pass through hdmi card to gather the color being sent to the tv to deduce the dominant color so I can program ambient lighting for the whole room.
