Sorry for the late reply I have not been around. I originally ordered the 100 node 12 volt strings which started to fail immediately. I waited over a month for replacements so it was with original order not new link. Ray told me about the pcb redesign and chip flaws that needed to be addressed...

Hi DannyP I have been experimenting with different speeds and so far have found that 2400 seems to have the least flicker and smooth color transitions with the Technicolor pixels. I am using a P12S but I am sure the P12R would be the same

Take some resistance readings on the data pad to gnd pad and see what values you have. Did the pixel just quit working as in no glowing. Was this just one bad unit? Mine was fine until the first rain and all kinds of problems occurred. They would start coming on when no signal was applied...

Hi Daryl I got ahold of Ray and apparently it is just a resistor that acts as a filter to help stabilize data so you can still inject power with no problems.

My pixels died overnight in cold dry winter. LOL It was very strange. I cut one open because I thought he may of sent 5volt by mistake and they were 12volt but the board looked good. It had to be some sort of hardware defect and chatting online with Ray seem to confirm this. I included a photo...

Thanks In general people are usually nice like yourself but unfortunately you always find some negativity. I believe we all do this because it is nice to see people smile and it is a fun hobby! :) The forums are a great place to help each other and share our experiences.

Sorry you feel that way! It is not my first post but I am fairly new to this site and I usually like to be on the side lines. But a lot of people including myself have invested a lot of money on these pixels and I am just trying to inform people that there is a light at the end of this tunnel...

I have finally received my revised replacement Technicolor Pixels. Since it is too late for my display I decided to at least test them out so I do not run into the same problem as the last set of strings. Apparently Ray had received a defective batch of ws2811 which was one of the main causes of...
