yea ill post some up tomorrow

that was also only running at 50% brightness

Last minute decision to give pixel led christmas lights a go Started off ordering 1000 seed pixels from rawyu start of november with plans to run a house outline and a few other small bits with esp32 controllers Escalated to ordering another 2000 pixels and a baldrick controller mid november Had...

Marked and cut up 4 pixels this morning and confirmed there is alternating pixels Pixel 1: G-----G D2 D2 D1---D1 V-----V Pixel 2: G-----G D2---D2 D1 D1 V-----V

thanks that diagram is more clear and explains the issue im having tonight Fixed one tree using the diagram i posted previously but then the second one behaved the opposite Looking at that diagram - does that mean its possible every second pixel in a bulk spool flips backup / primary with no...

They are meant to be WS2818 but who knows if thats whats actually used. Just did a test and following diagram works (my addition in pink) Tried the opposite first but that was causing duplicate pixels (eg 2 pixels displaying same data) Does that sound correct? Be nice if they actually...

This is the diagram according to the supplier but do think i need to cut the backup wire at the end of the string. Did also just test on a esp32 with wled and it didnt seem to be as bad, not sure why.

yea they say to connect them together at the controller - so i assumed they could be linked further along the chain but maybe not - i have asked the question. If the backup and data cant be joined i guess the backup just gets left open going into a 3 pin xconnect at the end of the string. Did a...

Had another thought - i connected the data and backup data together on output is that actually ok? or should they only be joined on input?

Ill give that a go tonight and see what that does Latest firmware update Was also considering trying a test with an ESP32 running WLED as a test, doubt its the controller but easy test.

New to RGB pixel christmas lights this year but fairly competent with electronics / rgb pixels in other use cases Just finished building 2x Spiral Trees with starts on top 70 pixel tree - Raywu seed pixels 4 wire 50mm spacing 12v WS2818 joined to (soldered + heatshrink) 50 pixel star - Raywu...
