[QUOTE="i13, post: 73243, member: 21708"] You are correct about the layout of multiple items. Exactly how this is set up depends on which software you choose but yes that is how the hardware is set up. You can run the injection cable that way if it is thick enough. The problem is that voltage drop occurs within a long thin cable and this reduces the effectiveness of the power injection. If you decide that you want to have a different power supply part way along the string of pixels, you need to cut the positive line in the string of pixels half way between each power supply. If you have two elements on the same controller output and you want them to each have their own power supply then the connection between them is just the negative and data lines plus the clock wire if it exists on your chosen pixel type. This connection can only be so long before you need a null pixel. The 50 pixel rule is a VERY rough guideline and it only applies to strings, not strips. [/QUOTE]

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
