Hi all,
This is my first year putting together a light display. Everything is working great except for the mega tree. Here's a (really bad quality) video of the problem I'm seeing.
View: https://www.facebook.com/HobbiesMostly/videos/427943297891359/
This happens whenever the controller is powered on, regardless of whether the controller is outputting data.
I'm looking for suggestions on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue.
I'm using a Falcon F16v3 controller and the mega tree is on port 16. However, I'm ONLY using the data output from the controller - not power. I have a separate power supply for the mega tree that provides all the power and power injects at four separate locations on the tree. I'm doing this because I read somewhere not to mix power supplies.
So the video demonstrates that the tree has power to all nodes, so power is working. But I have no idea why it just cycles all lights repeatedly when no data is being sent to the tree.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
