Interesting enough. I plugged in a test single controller into the input end. The strip on the window works perfectly. So I know the strip is working. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah if I remove the input and only plug in the power in on the output I get half of the working wire on full white Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hmmm I have checked everything and it all seems legitimate. And I have checked the window that was working as reference and it's wired the same. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi. I am wondering if anyone can help me. I have my whole display working except for a few stubborn elements. I have two windows both the same size both wired the same with data, +Ve and -ve wired into the start of 30/10 strip and +Ve and -Ve at the end of the strip to a fuse hub and ground...

Cheers. Thanks mate

Thanks. I found that using your suggestion of the advanced configuration in the assistant I resolved my issue.

Awesome. Thanks for you help. I will take your info and try and adapt it to my situation.

The wiring according to the manual is correct but I am wondering whether I should try connecting the data cable to the clock pinout on the pixelite. I know this pin can be used if the pixelite is in its expanded mode. Maybe it has something to do with that. I am just guessing. Sent from my...

One of the spiral trees is less than a metre from the controller. Surely that isn't too far Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just three core cable I am looking at the pixlite now and it appears I have wired the +Ve -Ve and data in the correct pins on the controller. Hmmm this is doing my head in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You have got me thinking Daniel. I am going back to the pixlite manual and making sure that I have the wires plugged into the correct slot on the controller Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have wondered that myself but I am using the blue cable in the pigtails and have connected them through to the data point in the controller. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
