I have 5 other modded v2 SSC working on the exact configuration. I double checked the solder, chips, chip positions, resistors and everything looks good.
I have 2 strings with issues. After programming with the SSC Utility on the first string, the first 3 nodes work. The first two nodes are white, and the last one has one color sometimes multiple and it varies on each flash. The rest of the string works fine. When I test it....no blinky flashy even though other strings I plug into the same Cat 5 cable work.
I have another string where the first 6 nodes work after programming and not the rest of the string. No blinky flashy if I connect it. The first 5 nodes are all white and the last node has mostly one color but it varies.
Before I do anything, I feel like the problem is at the connection between each 3 node set. It would seem all I need to do is remove the bad portions. But before I go cutting and removing, does this seem correct?
