just to let eveyone know, i purchased some of these to experiment with
so far i have disconvered the chip in each hook, hold 40 channels
so the first wired 20 lights , then a buffer (null) of 20 lights
then the next row starts
i have made a custom inside xlights with
1-20 as row 1
41-60 as row 2
81-100 as row 3
ETC
as long as i start the next row at a 40 increment - but indicate only 20 lights it works perfectly as a curtain
soon i will experiment and find if the chip Nulls the last 20 each time, or if i add another 20 to each row, all 40 will light up
so i will be able to determine if it is allowing 20 then nulling 20 or just allowing 40 each time per hook chip join for each row
then i will be pulling the end one apart to try and see if i can reverse engineer it ( if anyone better wants to assist i would be appreciative)
for a small simple chip it would make running return wires, or upgrading to 4 wire data return cables, or looping cables and doing alternate nodes a thing of the past, and maybe it could be designed into a main board so the top ccan be a hard channel with RJ9 outputs to each drop(row) possibly good for matrixes, or even roof curtains so power only has to be on one edge of the roof
