Power injection RGB Dumb nodes. - Wayne - 21-10-2018
I am trying to find out the best way to power inject 100-150 RGB Dumb nodes. The nodes (5V) will be connected to DC08 controller using 3 channels with a common + using the first of the 3 channels. My intention is to just run a positive wire to the joining points (50 nodes) but not sure if it's ok to do this. If this is ok to do which is the best place to take the feed from ? I was thinking of taking it from either one or both of the other 2 channels connected as needed. One problem I may have with that is I have configured one of the sets of 150 over 2 DC08 controllers channels (7&8 on one and 1 on the next) so again not sure if that will be ok to power from the 2 separate controllers. My other thought is to run the initial feed from the controller and power inject from the power supply that feeds the controller.
Cheers
Wayne

You should inject power from the power supply to each string of 50 pixels.
