Hi,
I'm a newbie, I have an ambitious Burning Man project. 3000 RGB pixels. I am using 3 wire 5v WS2811 strings from Ray Wu and also have this controller (that he recommended).
My pixels are wired 5v DATA GND and the terminal blocks on the controller [/size]are labelled CLK DATA COM. As I understand it, the WS2811 3 wire strands [/size]don't use a clock wire... ok... so how do I connect the strands to the [/size]terminal blocks?
[/size]
[/size]Or am I missing the boat and I should ignore the terminal blocks and only use the Ethernet ports on the other side of the device for E1.31?
[/size]
[/size]If yes, where do I inject power for the strings?
[/size]
[/size]The "manual" for this controller is pretty barebones and I can't find any good install info... lots of people sell it but they have the same confusing instructions. Ray hasn't responded to my request from last week.
[/size]
[/size]I'm willing to go another controller direction, but I love solving a mystery. I will wire it up, take pictures and document it myself if we can figure it out.
[/size]
[/size]thanks community!
