Best hobby I've had since I was a kid.

[@BellaNestCam]

The question of a null or sacrificial pixel right after one of the DIG's to fix flickering: I have tried the null pixel and an f amp right after the DIG and neither fixed my data issue due to the long data wire distance. Placing the DIG within a foot of the light string did fix the issue. I am waiting for my signal boosters to see if that will fix the flickering.

[@ramrubicon1014]

Is there a way to control a 120v relay for a static dumb led display? So that everything blacks out when wanted. Seems like something simple but I have had a hard time finding how to do it with WLED.

[@joshuabest100]

If I have flickering data stream problems a capacitor in series with the data line stops the flickering and random data

[@jeremyfailor4764]

What size power supply do you use to run 500 12v 2311's on a digi quad controller?

[@artificiallyunintelligent4537]

A 30A should allow for full brightness

[@artificiallyunintelligent4537]

Shoot me straight man, will permatrack ever be offered again or should I find something else? All of my LED strips’ factory solder joints are starting to fail and I’ve been hoping for a restock since before Halloween so I could upgrade to pixels in permatrack 😕

[@artificiallyunintelligent4537]

Yay, they’re back!

[@gdaddy38]

if you change the data to a different point it is going to use that new point as #1 position

[@PlasticAssasin8]

has anyone used a rasberry PI to run Dig at all?

[@Gyovione]

LED Preferences, Starts, 1-600 and then 601-1200

[@SmartLifeEnthusiast]

11:20 - Doc getting confused by '.' as thousand seperator. 33.333 = 33k

[@GillySqueeze]

Start 2:46

[@danfitzpatrick4112]

NEVER run your Power to your LED's through a board like these. (Power your board and your LED's in a parallel circuit) These circuit boards have very thin copper that is not rated for the amperage that could possibly flow through without issues

[@DrZzs]

Sorry but that just isn’t true. These boards have plenty of copper to handle loads of 30 amps continuous. Which is far beyond the rating of the fuses. By running parallel from your power supply you’d be bypassing the fuses.
I appreciate your interest and desire to help but please inform yourself before making such claims.
