I have a sample pack from Holiday Coro due in a few days...
I don't believe the square or rect should give you different colors but I am aware that some modules are wired/labeled different.
No, a dumb module cannot be run by a SSC. RJ has a dumb controller in the works!!! That said the 3 channel dmx things looks pretty cool. Anxious to try it.
Yes all the wiki stuff are smart. You can get dumb ones from Ray but they are only a little cheaper. I really wish the dumb ones were more inexpensive.
I believe the difference between the two are chips. SS have chips, dumb ones don't. Also, smart are 3 wire and dumb are 4.
I had one heck of time with my ss gear. Got totally frustrated and ready to give up only to find out the SS needs to connected correctly to input side of chip. I didn't read anywhere it was important... Then I was golden. I am now a raging RGB addict and jonesing for an order to Ray.
Now I am on the hunt for flex strip info...
