Scenario 1a	- 	5v LED strip
We want 5m of LED strip for in my room
1 roll of 30LEDs/m ws2812b so 5m/16ft 150 LEDs in total (https://geni.us/tbaBa)
	(This could work limited to 1Amp through a USB cable and Dupont cables)
	How much power will that use?
		SEE POWER USAGE CHARTS: https://quinled.info/2020/03/12/digital-led-power-usage/
		Max power = 32,5w
		Project power usage = 1/2 = 16,25w
		16,25w / 5v = 3,25 Amps
			Single injection point = 3 to 4 Amps
	1x injection (front) = ok

Scenario 1b	- 	5v LED strip
We want 5m of 60LEDs/m LED strip
1roll of 60LEDs/m so 300LEDs 5m/16ft in total for in my room (https://geni.us/tbaBa)
	!!!!NO THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH A USB CABLE AND DUPONT CABLES!!!!
	How much power will that use?
		SEE POWER USAGE CHARTS: https://quinled.info/2020/03/12/digital-led-power-usage/
		Max power = 65w
		Project power usage = 1/2 = 32,5w
		32,5w / 5v = 6,5 Amps
			Single injection point = 3 to 4 Amps
	1x injection (front) = slightly limited (limit total amount to 3A or 4A)
	1x injection !middle! = ok
	2x injection (front + end) = ok
		
Scenerio 1c	- 	5v LED strip
We want 10m/32ft of LED strip in my room!!! I saw this on tiktok, why is it so hard. (https://geni.us/tbaBa)
	!!!!NO THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH A USB CABLE AND DUPONT CABLES!!!!
	
	30LEDs/m - 2x150LEDs = 300LEDs total
		SEE POWER USAGE CHARTS: https://quinled.info/2020/03/12/digital-led-power-usage/	
		Max power = 65w
		Project power usage = 32,5w
		32,5w / 5v = 6,5 Amps
			Single injection point = 3 to 4 Amps
	1x injection (front) = slightly limited (limit total amount to 3A or 4A)
	1x injection !middle! = ok
	2x injection (front + end) = ok

	60LEDs/m - 2x300LEDs = 600LEDs total
		SEE POWER USAGE CHARTS: https://quinled.info/2020/03/12/digital-led-power-usage/
		Max power = 130w
		Project power usage = 65w
		65w / 5v = 13 Amps
			Single injection point = 3 to 4Amps
	1x injection = total fail (limit total amount to 3A or 4A)
	1x injection !middle! = very limited....
	2x injection (front + middle) = Last half of second will show severe voltage drop
	3x injection (front + middle + end) = ok

	How much power do I need where?
	13Amps divide over 3 injections
	2x are edge injections, 1x middle injection
	13Amps/2 = 6,5 Amps
		Front/End = 1/2 of middle point = 2x 3,25 Amps
	That means:
		Front= 3,25 Amps
		Middle = 6,5 Amps
		End = 3,25 Amps
		TOTAL = 13 Amps

	Will my LEDs stay smooth?!
	Total LEDs = 600
		LED Protocol limits
			~500LEDs = 60FPS/updates per LED per second
			~600LEDs = 55FPS/updates per LED per second
			~1000LEDs = 30FPS/updates per LED per second
			~1500LEDs = 15FPS/updates per LED per second
		Only solution, use multi-channel output board such as QuinLED-Dig-Quad: https://quinled.info/2020/06/17/quinled-dig-quad/
			4x ~500LEDs = 2000LEDs at 60FPS!

	Wait, what cables do I need for this?!
	(https://www.rapidtables.com/calc/wire/voltage-drop-calculator.html)
		Drop acceptable = 10% = 0,5v so 4,5v acceptable
	front = 1m/3ft	3,25 Amps	minimum 24 AWG	0.2mm2
	middle = 6m/19ft	6,50 Amps	minimum 13 AWG	2.6mm2
	end = 11m/35ft	3,25 Amps	minimum 14 AWG	2.0mm2
	


Scenario 2	- 	12v LED strip
I want 10m of LED strip in my room, TIKTOK INSTAGARAM YOLO!
	!!!!NO THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH A USB CABLE AND DUPONT CABLES!!!!
	12v ws2811 per 3 addressable, 96LEDs/m LED strip
	2x 5m strip = 10m
	SEE POWER USAGE CHARTS: https://quinled.info/2020/03/12/digital-led-power-usage/
	Max power = 202w
		Project power usage = 100w
		100w / 12v = 8,33 Amps
			Single injection point = 3 to 4Amps
	1x injection = Not ok, near ok with middle
	2x injection (front + middle) = ok

Scenario 2b	- 	12v LED strip
I want 20m of LED strip in my room, TIKTOK INSTAGARAM YOLO edition! (https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dYmgnoy)
	!!!!NO THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH A USB CABLE AND DUPONT CABLES!!!!
	12v ws2811 per 3 addressable, 96LEDs/m LED strip
	4x 5m strip = 20m
	SEE POWER USAGE CHARTS: https://quinled.info/2020/03/12/digital-led-power-usage/
	Max power = 404w
		Project power usage = 200w
		200w / 12v = 16,64 Amps
			Single injection point = 3 to 4Amps
	1x injection = Not ok
	2x injection = Not ok
	3x injection = Getting there but parts are going to be dim
	4x injection = Still parts that will be un-even in brightness
	5x injection (front + middle + middle + middle + end) = ok

	How much power do I need where?
	16,64 Amps divide over 5 injections
	2x are edge injections, 3x middle injection
	16,64Amps/4 = 4,16 Amps
	That means:
		front= 2,08 Amps
		Middle = 4,16 Amps
		Middle = 4,16 Amps
		Middle = 4,16 Amps
		End = 2,08 Amps
		TOTAL = 16,64 Amps

	Wait, what cables do I need for this?!
	(https://www.rapidtables.com/calc/wire/voltage-drop-calculator.html)
		Drop acceptable = 1,2v (10%) so 10,5v acceptable
	front = 1m/3ft	2,08 Amps	minimum 28 AWG	0.08mm2
	middle = 6m/19ft	4,16 Amps	minimum 19 AWG	0.7mm2
