I think you are right if i hold them just right they seem to kinda work then as soon as you let them go its back to wrong,  Cant turn back now, but think next year pre-sales im going to make the change to bullet pixels for sure. And yes my Halloween show was impossible to video on the phone because they are so bright.

So I have the RGB 150/ 50 node strips from holiday light express. all tested good went to cut them and used some solderless 90 degree connectors. On the two I have done so far what I would call the 4 leg is way off color wise. Not sure if you can tell from picture. I know anytime you cut and use a connector you have the chance of a voltage drop but im not seeing it via meter. Has anyone had this issue? I would not think 3 splices would cause this much of an issue.

I got it all working by dropping the offset. Only thing now is the light Flicker. Starting to regret going with this PixCon16. Not sure what to do.

Seems when I use the "Offset from" is whats messing it up. If i just tell it start channel it seems to work. Going to try this and see what happens

Im doing 50 nodes as that is how many of those black chips are on the string and I know these strips go in groups of 3 RGB LEDS. How should I be entering it?

So i set them to 150 per Universe Set Arch 1 to Unv 1 start channel 1 then Arch 2 to Unv 2 and start channel to 151 but then it kicks to a 450 end channel. Is this a bug or something. It doesnt seem to be

Thanks for the help. Last question, So my Ribbons are 150 LED/s total 16ft. They have a total channel count of 50 so if i set end channel to 512 for each universe that just means i will have to go back and remove the extra later. Would rather set all this up for max use so down the road i can just add and not have to reconfigure the channel counts. So pretty much with the PixCon16 just set end channel to 512?

Hello all, Setting up system with 2 PicCon16 contollers with the Smart RGB ribbons from Holiday Light Express and also the c9 Pixels from them as well. They are 16ft 150 LED's and 3 nodes per channel. So I take that as they are a 50 channel strip. I set all this up and then when I look at end Channel is says 150 not 50. Is it just saying this because its RGB and 50x3 or am i doing something wrong? Will end chanel 150 cause issues as the next prop start channel should be 51.

Thank you in advance for your help.
