Has anyone been able to get replacements for defective pixels from Ray Wu? I had read on the forums that a few people did back in September. I have been trying for three weeks now to get Ray to respond and I am getting no replies. Before I purchased the pixel strings I had asked specifically...

Has anyone done a comparison of RGB strings using the WS2801 chip versus strings using the WS2811? The 2811 strings I am looking at are three wire and the 2801 is 4 wire. That does not make a big difference to me but it is one less wire to have to do something with and one less wire that could...

I am planning on having the same setup this year but I was going to have each section of three strings start at the bottom. Up, down, up. And then the next set of three strings is up, down, and up. I do not see what reversing the physical order does except maybe making it easier to program in...

Thanks. I had seen that diagram but at the time was confused about whether or not power was a one way pipe or could flow in both directions. Option 3 seems like the option I would use and just to confirm, if this was a 5V power supply, then only one string can be powered in a line because the...

Thanks. Are your data and clock strings connected together at the top of the tree? If you were injecting power at the bottom would you connect the ground of each string to each other if they are powered by the same power supply?

I am considering converting my mega tree into an RGB tree next year. I was going to buy 30 strings of Ray Wu's 50 count pixels. I understand I can connect 3 of them together in one universe or output on the ECG-P12R. The data and clock lines can pass through on each string however power needs to...
