I purchased 4 strings of 100 count nodes with V3 modded SSC's which I am going to be using for around the windows of my home. I cut the first string down to 66 nodes, loaded the Smart String Utility and set the start channel then tested with X-Lights and everything was good. Now went to the second string and cut it down to 66 nodes and set the start address and instead of acting like pixels it is behaving like a dumb string IE: there is no individual control of pixels. So I reflashed the PIC twice and set the starting address and same issue. I checked another string I cut done to 44 pixels and it is doing the same thing. At this point I have:
1. Re-flashed the PIC(s) on both problem strings
2. Checked the soldering on the SSC boards (appears to be OK)
3. Made sure the Nodes were wired correctly
4. Made sure I am using the V3 hex file and set up utility (I have got one working correctly so far...)
I am awaiting some WP connectors (the nodes were directly soldered to the SSC's) So I can try swapping nodes but till they arrive is there anything I should be looking for that would create that behavior? I do have extra SSC's (V3 modded) which I put together but before I swap those out I would like to get the original ones working.
