TalegaHoliday Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 I just got the CMB24D. I get it configured So I start testing my RGB "Dumb" strips. I put a tail on a strip. Then I plug a strip into channel 1. Works great! I move onto putting the next tail on the next strip. Done. I decide to plug it into channel 2. I do that and ONLY, red and blue are working. So, i think weird… Ill try plugging the strip into channel 1 to see if I wired the strip wrong… I plug it into channel 1, and THE STRIP WORKS GREAT (green included)!! I plug the strip that was originally in channel 1 into channel 2. No green. So there definitely is a problem with green on channel two. I thought maybe it wasn't connected to the board all the way. It checked and it seemed fine. Then I decided to take it out and reattach it. I unscrewed it from the terminal and reattached it. Then tested it.Still no green. Anyone know what to do? Thanks!

Did you solder the tail on your strip? Are you doing any extension and what are you using, where you getting wire and cables? Thanks. Hope you got everything fixed. I'm in my planning stages still so sorry I couldn't help answer anything for you.
Dennis Laff Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 are you using 3 channels per strip ? I have 4 cmb24s running with no problem did you change channels on sequence grid to rgb

SLICK_JERRY Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 can i test these boards using a 2 amp power supply attached to the secondary feed at the top of the bord...or will this not fire up the electronics in the board....thanksslick_jerry
vdipaola73 Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 I'm running two of theses board for mini trees and floods. I'm using power supplies from Holidaycoro and have not had any issues creep up.
