Hi everyone, wanted to share my experience trying to make a cheap matrix with 5v seeds. I decided to use this board from bunnings and pair that up with my Falcon F16V3 controller that would run the 5v seeds through 4 ports (for the whole board) resulting in a 90 row and 49 columns matrix. I used...
Thanks Terry, definitely my +5v line is not connected to +12v line.
For data threshold (I guess it's supposed to be 3.5v), and it shouldn't be a problem for under (7-9m) wire length, and I'm using f-amp for the longest branch (7+4m).
For the common, should I connect to the v2 ground instead...
Thanks Terry for your comments, power supplies wires are about 20cm each, 3 core wire will carry no voltage at all, just data. Sorry I didn't understand the last paragraph.
Through trial and error, I found out that there was another way to make corners for strips without cutting and risking the waterproofing. What I did was I made a loop on each corner of around 10cm in length and assigned them to a group that declares them as null pixels which mean they will not...
