The first thing I noticed in the video is that you have a wire connected to the clock on the controller. Ws2811 don't have a clock wire. Only v+ ground and data.

The diagrams look ok from what I can see. The t1000s diagram shows a connection from the controller to the ground cable then ground back to the power supply. This should only bee needed if using a separate power supply for the controller too what your powering your lights with. You have drawn the one supply for both.
Don't rely on the colored wires connecting to the correct location. Look for he markings on the strip to confirm if they are going to the right place.

I am having trouble T-1000s controller and WS 2811 pixel LEDs.
I use LEDEdit 2013.
All I get are blue pixels.


Could someone send me a copy of a working file, or some help?


Cheers

Thanks for the link.
That is how I have connected the modules.
But all I get is blue pixels.


Has anyone got the controller to work?

I also noticed that there is a physical wire connection between the 2 grounds on the controller in Rays diagram. your diagram doesn't include this connection.

I still can not get the controller to work.
I tested the 2811 modules and they all work.
The power supply I was using first did not supply 5v all the time,poor regulation.
Connected the new supply to the T1000S but still no go.


Could someone upload a file that works with this setup.
