Matt2234 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) Had a bad bulb on a cosmic color bulb strand. Took two bulbs out and repaired it and the power and colors work perfectly. However, going through testing, I had bulbs going out of order, starting at bulb 15 or so and randomly after that two bulbs going at a time after in order. Do I need to reprogram the pixel numbers somehow? Works if I had the string as a “dumb” rgb string, not quite the smartest!

TheDucks Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Smart Pix are Bucket brigade so no re-programming needed The controller sends a packet of commands. each node peels theirs off the top and forwards the rest as a packet. Each node does this. Check POWER (corroded contacts, voltage now off (low The further along the string, the more total voltage drop affects things. FWIW I like to set my PSU a bit (1/2 the device tolerance) on the High side. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
