New elf
New to sequencing, but familiar with electronics, and very well versed in controls and power wiring….with that said, I’m trying to get real creative, laying out my wiring, and to limit my 12V voltage drop. This layout also allows for both 5V and 12V on same date line.
In an ideal world, I would have (4) e6804, one at each arch point for each 5V & 12V runs. With the 120V power distribution, and since data is low current and the null pixels act as data repeaters every 20 feet, my wire doesn’t need to my up-sized.
Another creative thought was to use the same data for both 5V & 12V, with separate power supplies and injection points to support the difference voltages needs.
Without the distant and repeaters in place, I have a prototype layout running a single data line and power injection as needed. So far the only issue is the RGB sequence that differs between Strips & Pixels. Strip Red=Red and Pixel Red=Green. I can look for some that match or just adjust in sequencing. When I want Red on the pixel, I’ll schedule for Blue, or whatever color the Pixel will need to be for Red output.
Has anybody done anything like I have drawn…see attached PDF – any and all comments appreciated.
