Hi Everyone,
I hope your Holiday lights went well?
For my first year with pixels, I was pretty happy I must admit. Although I did spend a fair bit of time swapping out bad nodes.
Here is a problem that happened this holiday season, I managed to quickly fix by putting each prop on it's own channel, but the problem still exists..... Let me explain and do any of you maybe have an answer or any thoughts on this one. This is my first season with Pixels, so I bow to you guy's superior knowledge.
I made 2 Disney props, one Mickey, one Minnie, Micky is 50 pixels, Minnie is 75 pixels (she has a bow). Originally I had the two props connected to the same channel, however when I plugged the Minnie into the tail end of the Mickey, the Minnie would not light up and the very last pixel on the Mickey either died or flickered.
I can plug any other prop (even greater than 75 pixels) into the Mickey and it powers up no issues, but the Minnie ALWAYS drags it down. The Minnie does NOT drag down or fail to light if I plug it into any other prop either.
This fault makes no sense at all, there seems to be power and data passing through the plugs on any other props I plug in, so where do I begin to fault find this one?
Adding a few pics for reference.
As usual, any help, thoughts or pointers, greatly appreciated.
