Ok, so … in my slow approach to learning the how-to’s of smart pixels, I’m happily applying some knowledge I’ve gained to my dumb RGB display (mainly soldering multiple strings to run off the same controller / power brick combo).
My problem here is the two sets of netted lights I have on my garage door: a large net to the right and a smaller one to the left.
The nets are daisy chained (right to left), and came with European connections; each net has its own controller. I can sync both nets with the same flash-sequence, but when I power them off and then back on again, they each revert to a seemingly random pattern. Two wires go into the controller, feeding in power; two wires come out of the controller to feed the data and power to the strings.
This obviously will not do. Suggestions on how I can overcome this?
