Hey everyone,

1st time setting up a Matrix panel and having a few issues hoping someone can help me out.

ETOP Outdoor panels 64x32 1/8 Scan x 9

BBB with Hat, running 3 panels off each output

Firstly I know its not fused yet, waiting on fuse block!!! (Just testing)

I have 4.96V at a spare Panelplug running at 100% brightnesss on white, 5.09V at Power Supply.

Panels tests fine in cycle patterns RGBW none, but soon as I push a sequence I get the attached picture.

I have swapped aroung data leads, with no change, disconnected a data lead, with no change to the other two legs.

Im sure im missing something simple......

for what it's worth that RGBW test pattern is wrong, it should have straight up and down lines of each color. I'd focus on the FPP panel config eg panel interleave, output by row etc.

Thanks Daryl, had a play around with those settings as I was unsure what they were, and got it working, Legend
