How do i program / Wire this?

[Gooliez]

I maybe looking at this too deep and there's probably an obvious answer

I'm using a Baldrick 8 Port in this part of the house and have filled it up so i'll try and tackle this if it's possible.

Is it possible to run a single line from the control box to the run via a T-Junction?
I understand how to tell Xlights for a continuous run starting at the end, but running from 1 port and splitting both directions is beyond me.

If you use a T junction (for data) then both sides of the tee will always do the exact same thing. This is because the pixel takes a colour off the data line and passes the rest of the data down to the next pixel and so on. So if you make two chains, they both do the same thing.

The obvious answer is get another baldrick 8 or 17 . Or, use the tee for power, but bring the data all the way down to one end.

Ok cool, Thanks, i had a feeling that was the answer but best to ask as i could have been making way more work. i'll just have to run an extension to the end on the right hand side then!
