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

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 😕

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.

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

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

[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.

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

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

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
