Ethernet controller output errors - krissprolls - 21-11-2017 Hi all, It's my second year with the ethernet controller for led strips. This year, i meet the following problem with my configuration. When my controller (with the same parameters than the last year show) with the same strips on output 1 and 2, and for the test, one more on output 3 the led strips doesn't work...Some led blinking, sometimes i'm able to change colors off the first ou second led of the strip. I do the following tests : - Measure tension at the output card, power supply and strips beginning : 5,07V ok - Take a new strip - done - Put the ethernet cable directly on the pc, and on a little switch done - Factory reset the controller done - Modify ip range done - Add two power supply done I'm desesperate, have you an idea ?

Pixels rely alot on a negative. its almost as important as the data wire. RE: Ethernet controller output errors - krissprolls - 23-11-2017 Thanks for that It's a good idea i'll test it quickly Today, the new test led strip on my output 3 works well but she's short, directly connect on the controller with a 1 inch short cable. Besides, it doesn't need a supplementary power supply, the controller is enough. The leds strips may be out of service or bad soldererd after the few first leds... Thanks for all RE: Ethernet controller output errors - krissprolls - 04-01-2018 (23-11-2017, 05:09 PM)krissprolls Wrote: Thanks for that After Christmas i would try test my controller with IC 2811 led strip in 12V power supply (3leds for 1 pixel). Impossible to control the strips, they still stay on and white.... Do you have an upgrade for the firmware of the controller ? Thanks Christopher (and Happy New year !) I just do a test with my second ethernet controller, and the strips 2811 works well Any idea ? the output of my first controller are dead ? |
