Daisy chaining props or multi string props

Can anyone suggest what I have wrong that causes only the first 100 pixels of my 222 pixel snowflake to light up?







I seem to have the same issue with my (covid creation) Teddy Bear...

have you uploaded it to the falcon yet? ... might be in xlights, but if you haven't uploaded it to the controller, then it'll only be lighting up the default amount of pixels (or whatever that port might have previously been set to).

Funnily enough the default on mine after firmware update was 100 pixels on all ports

I got caught out also as the controller defaulted to 100 pixels.

My bad, I didn't even think it could be a faulty string - but seems the second string (pixels 101-199) is faulty, it blows a fuse on the falcon when directly connected, even with no outputs. Swapped this out and all good.

Thanks for the suggestions!

this ended up being a faulty null pixel on the beginning of the string
