I am trying to go live with my first little light show. Falcon F6v3 controller with a couple of Boscoyo 99 Candy Canes (100 pixel string, 12v).
All setup in the garage and working. When I put the candy canes out in the front yard they lit up but none of the sequencing effects worked, I just had static red and white lights on the candy canes.
After some troubleshooting I figured out that it was related to the cable length. I am using 2x 6m (Ray Wu) leads to each candy cane so total cable run is 12m.
Fortunately I purchased some null pixels even though I didn't really understand what they were for or how to use them. I connected the null pixel between the 6m cables. So I have falcon -> 6m cable -> null pixel -> 6m cable -> 100 pixel string.
Can someone help me understand and/or explain a better design?
