Glad you got it working. I've said the first pixel is most likely dead twice

Bumping an old thread. Just want to say thanks to @ryanschristmaslights and all the admins that put in all the time to keep ACL alive. If you aren't a "Generous Elf" I suggest you become one if ACL has helped you with your blinky journey. You can find it under "Account Details" and "Financial...

Bad first pixel as I stated previously is my guess

I'm guessing a bad first pixel. First place I would start anyways. From what I read don't see you doing anything wrong. Sounds to me like getting power to first pixel but no data or bad pixel. Not sure if 5v or 12v but no reason to inject most 12v with 150 pixels, just lower the intensity...

Seems like more and more issues with pixels from all vendors lately. I replace a few each year and my display isn't small, all of mine were purchased pre Covid 2020

Haven't bought any or know exactly what they are. At quick glance looks like a poor design like some of the earlier square nodes.

I do it on the port configuration of the pixel controller. Why so many nulls? Never seen people use so many

Check the port configuration on the controller settings. I'm assuming it has one null pixel. Assuming on the hardware side, not xLights

Never used the feature but xLights can generate a model. View: https://youtu.be/UlbiPWm0veI

Welcome to ACL! Been a few years since I setup a matrix in xLights. First thing that comes to mind is it set as a horizontal matrix and is the starting location correct (bottom left etc) Someone will help you get this figured out. Sounds to me like it me setup as a vertical matrix

I have 8 of the 20w 24v pointing up at a wall, use as wall washers. They are at 20% and still plenty bright. Spaced approximately 2.5m apart and mounted to the fence which is about 4m from house. View: https://vimeo.com/1043218027?share=copy#t=0

Welcome to ACL. My first advice will be to start small the first year.. Now an answer to your question. I ONLY use Meanwell, I use quite a few of the big ones, RSP3000-12 and a bunch of the smaller ones. I don't have exact numbers but power 7k+ pixels off one with reduced intensity on a...

Not sure on the Baldrick's but very easy to configure with Falcon with Zig Count under pixel port configuration, just set to 48. Assuming they have something similar.

I agree 100% with @merryoncherry. I added a 42 panel P5 matrix a few years ago. People just stand there and stare at it. Much more to look at than the matrix..
