I'm running the data line and a ground from a Falcon F16 V3 controller. I'm injecting power and ground along the entire string from a seperate power supply on all the props. All the pixels are 5 volt. I'm injecting power at 50 pixels on the candy canes and 70 pixels on the icicles. The candy canes are 100 pixels and the icicles are 6 strings of 70 pixels.
At approximately 100 pixels on the icicles there's a group of about 20 pixels that when I run a test pattern are the wrong colors. The rest of the 420 pixel string run fine. On the candy canes when I string two candy canes together at about 30 pixels in the first candy cane a group of 10 pixels is the wrong color when running a test pattern. If I have just one candy cane running it's fine.
Any idea where my problem might be?
This is the candy canes. If I switch which candy cane gets data first. It also changes which candy cane has the issue.
