Hi, Just hooking up my P12R and I need to add a second power supply. I have a the first five volt supply feeding the logic board at K1 five volt and ground as well as the output board at P00. The second power supply is feeding the output board at P13. I am pretty sure this is right but just want...
The P2 does need a power source. It does not pass enough power to run your pixels.
You can run the P2 from the same power supply as the pixels as the power draw for it is very low.
Yes as long as it is coming from the same power supply.
If you are using different power supplies than you must have the + line separated and only the ground line running through
There is a couple great pics of this in the ACL101 manual
Welcome to ACL. There is a great assortment of members here from around the world with experience in all types of Christmas displays. If you have any questions just post a thread or pop into chat for a bit.
Good luck with your display.
Not sure what your distances are from the controllers to first pixel or from power supplies to strip, I would chaeck voltage at the strip to verify that you have enough power to run everything. Remember that when dealing with low voltage, voltage drop on the wires can become an issue
That is awesome Shell :) :) :)
Nice to have a neighbour into the blinky as well

no, RGB amps are for dumb lights, they do not amplify data!!!
Null pixels are the correct way of extending distances.
