For getting the 2 arches to act independently try setting the pixel count to 50 not 150 as every 3 leds equals 1 pixel with strips (count the chips not leds) As for flickering how long is the run to the arch could be data loss. Edit: try 25 like Goliath said I read it as each arch was 150 but...

Is it possible the wires into the sockets and plug are swapped

Update I have it working I used a 12v USB socket to power the wemos a stepdown converter to keep the power under 12v for the lights all working with wled now just have to add it in xlights and see how that goes

Thinking it has gone off topic but there is no charging from a car it is all solar set at max 13.8v but with fridge running etc it sits around the 13.2v at night when i will be using the lights. I have jaycar up the road so thinking going this way...

Yep a 2811 strip it's a few years old and might try the test with a small section that I'm not going to use.

they are 2811s and the vehicle is a caravan with solar input so at night it will have no charge and sits around the 13.2v maybe down to 12.8v depending on what is running at the time.

Yep already have the 12v strip or i would just go the 5v route

Thanks more info would be great. I just want to safely run the led's without going over the voltage and risk them burning out. Dave

Hi I am looking at running some pixels from a caravan 12v system it sits at about 13.2v and wondering if this would be the go for dropping it to 11.9v to safely run the pixels. https://core-electronics.com.au/dc-dc-adjustable-step-down-module-5a-75w.html The pixels will be controlled by a wemos...

Welcome from another novacastrian

Hi all just wondering if anyone has a sequence to run rudolf run they would be willing to share. Dave

Hi Tim and Kim fellow novocastrian here too I'm i Shortland this will be my 2nd year with pixels but have not added any new items yet. Dave

If I was to do my mega tree again I would go the roll. To do a 50x16 tree I needed to join strips as i could only do 48 nodes at 2 inch space so had to use more strip.

1:28 bottom right a bit dark with only 3/4 of spinner working. Funny thing is it started working properly about 20 secs after that section.

Problem solved recounted pixels and custom model and was out by 1 and a null pixel. Dave
