Hey all,
In a few of the xLights & mini presentation video's I've been cramming I have noticed a few people mention that they do not run their pixel power via the controller board but use an external source (and I assume fuse it, something like a Hexfuse?) and simply have data + gnd hooked into the board.
I assume it is done to protect the board and maybe feed more than the 7A max on most of the boards. Is this the "correct" way to do the wiring?
Thanks
