Have a question about cutting one of these strips and controlling it.
http://www.aliexpress.com/product-fm/519162566-5m-led-digital-strip-DC12V-input-WS2801IC-256-scale-12pcs-IC-and-36pcs-5050-SMD-RGB-wholesalers.html
I would like to make 2 out of 1 to use in my display. I currently have one and got it up and running and
have done some sequencing using Superstar and then into LOR 3. So far so good and has come out
pretty well.
But what I would like to do is cut it in half as I said and have 2 and then get another to have 4.
When I cut it would it be better to run wires to treat it as one ribbon thus using 2 controllers or use
4 controllers one for each ribbon and set the starting address on each controller?
I am using this controller: http://www.aliexpress.com/fm-store/701799/209915969-509914025/LT-DMX-2801-DMX-SPI-Decoder-support-WS2801-WS2803-drving-IC.html
Thanks, Ed
