What is clock controlled 2811?

[John (oldandslow)]

I want to buy some 3 wire 2811 rgb's and they say they need to be controlled by a clock microprocessor.

 

I am using a Sans device E6804, is that the clock they are talking about?

 

Thanks

Post the link. Hard to say without it.

If they're 2811s, they work fine when driven by a SanDevices E6804.  However as marsh28 said, post a link and we can try to verify.

clock controlled I guess is referencing the data line?  2811 pixels don't have a clock line.  The old 2801 pixels with 4 wires do.  Not many use those anymore as they're more expensive.

This is from Ray Wu's web site and it has the same clock needs so I guess it's alright. Another user uses these lights from him.
