Hi
I recently got my first bulk order of pixels and am testing everything out. However I keep blowing the 4A fuses that come with my Pixlite 16 MkII controller.
In the last test I did, I had a single 100 node 12v string of pixels plugged in to one of the outputs. It worked fine then as I was changing the colour of the pixels they all stopped working. I switched the string to another output and it worked again, and again blew the fuse after trying to change the colour a few times.
Why would that single string be pulling such a high current from the controller? It is receiving power directly from the board.
Thanks
Max
