tbone 123, When testing the Zeus it was connected to the ED that is flashed for Pixelnet. I was not using the active hub. I used the Zeus version of the smart string utility set to start channel 1, forward, no null nodes - 64 node string RGB. transmitted but no white flashing. I tried several outputs and got the same thing. I thought the the chips had been flashed with the coop so I started testing the lights, breaking out the SSCs and the hub. That when I found I had several non functioning SSCs . The strings were connected correctly with the big chip side as the input.
awr01, My SSC's are version #1 and were built two years ago and have been collecting dust. I have 16 total and have 4 with the test hex flashing lights now. I just don't have more then a hour or so at night to work on them. I have 8, 128 node LED pixel string ;DC12V input;new model,IP68;TM1804IC. I bought these last October but never tested until last night. I was planning to half the strings for a 15 or so ft mega tree using the Zeus. I have a working active hub and a working pixelnet Eather-Dongle. I flashed my 10 DSC and they all work fine. Tonight I will finish wading through the SSCs. I am flashing them with the current hex from the wiki using my Pickit#3. I guess once I have the strings tested I will have another go at the Zeus.
