Diveau Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Hi, could I insert a null pixel into a string of light attached to a pixie 16 controller, and if, how do you setup the controller to recognised it? I need a distant of about 10m (30ft) from my controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) Unless LOR has recently made changes, there is no option of setting the Pixie boards to recognize null pixels. You have to do it manually by ignoring or deleting the sequencing for your null pixel(s). Having said that, there's currently a couple threads on FB regarding this very topic. People have stated they've reached as far as 40 - 50' between the controller and first pixel with no performance issues. This is only possible with 12V pixels and you must be using at least 18 ga wire. One individual stated he had problems with full-on white looking pink until he reduced full-on from 100% to 80% intensity. Another spoke of increasing the power supply output to 12.5V. As always, YMMV and you should carefully consider before embarking on outside-the-box remedies.
