    roofline spitting in two directions...Tee?

    Ha! Color coding is much better 😂 I see what you mean... But definitely f-amps or null pixels to keep that data flowing. Thank you so much for your help trying to figure out what options I had.

    roofline spitting in two directions...Tee?

    When I started that's where my controller was, inside the garage on the left, at the time I didn't think of the future of the hobby, it was just the outline at the garage... And now, the controller still sits inside the garage but on the right side.... Closer to where all the props will be...

    roofline spitting in two directions...Tee?

    I think the only issue would be that those two ends are "Data in" since the strand starts at the bottom left of the house, this is what happens when you get deeper in the hobby and try to add something new each year. lol

    tips or tricks for leaping arches led strips?

    You know I've seen that 3d model before but i ended up printing a different one which didn't work for mine, and i feel I'm in the same situation as you were, after cutting and soldering everything, once i put them out two out of the four arches lit up, i then had to twist and pull one end to...

    tips or tricks for leaping arches led strips?

    thank you for some ideas, i see how using zip ties can be problematic when trying to keep them still, I've seen a lot of 3d prints for strips to attach to pvc like yours. In my case, i think next year i am going to prep the strip ends better, i do have them solder then hot glue then shrink...

    2 leaping arches daisy chain issue

    I think im getting somewhere thanks to the help from the Pros! I"ve only dealt with pixel strings which even though it might be the same concept for some reason i found strips a bit more complicated when trying to understand the "Pixel" vs "Led's" but yes it was a 100 pixel strip which i cut in...

    2 leaping arches daisy chain issue

    well you guys were right...it was a bad pixel which i cut and i was able to get power and data to both arches now.....BUT now im having issues with random flickering even though im injecting power....i guess this is all part of the hobby. even though i have two arches it doesnt act independently...

    2 leaping arches daisy chain issue

    after i saw the last 3 pixels not lighting up, my first thought was that maybe the pixel was bad therefore not sending signal or power to the other arch but when i checked for voltage at the end of the strip i would read 12v so that's where i got confused.

    2 leaping arches daisy chain issue

    I never thought about that but the tutorial that i followed had me find the middle which was at 150 and then desolder versus cutting at the spot. could that be an issue with the second arch that wont light up?

    2 leaping arches daisy chain issue

    thanks for the reply. I did try them on test mode on the falcon and only one turns on....what i dont get is that the last 3 pixels are off but when i check for 12v at the end i could read 12v. There are 150 pixels on the strip.

    First of all thank you if you are reading this post which i hope is in the right place, i looked around and wasn't sure where to ask for the help. I am using a Flacon f16v3, I just built 2 arches using a tutorial I found which turned out fine with the exception of one arch not lighting up at...
