As this is the first time with pixels I thought I would get some basics first.
I ordered 3 strings of pixels, a power supply and a remote controlled mini controller.
I put it all together but the pixels did not come on. I checked all the voltages and all seemed ok at 5v. As it was my first time I thought maybe I buggered something and put it all aside.
I eventually did another order for 3 more strings and a usb powered 3 button mini controller thinking nothing can go wrong this time. I the parcel arrived a short time later and I eagerly put it together. Unfortunately still no response with the pixels.
I find it hard to believe that the there is a problem with the 6 strings but don't know about the controllers.
Am I missing something here. Do they need to be turned on? There are no instructions but on youtube it looks simple.
I am just trying to get something going.
