Thoughts on buying from Ray

What dumb ss did you get?

I am planning on mix of smart and dumb for my display. 

BTW all the nodes look well sealed etc.  That said never had the earlier IP67 stuff to compare.

Which controller did you get?? I have 2 different ones coming from Ray.

I had to laugh when I first saw it...  Thought it would be larger.  It's smaller than the dongle.

HEADS UP!  Watch the wiring on these.  The wire colors do not correlate to hook up.  Look at the labeling of the node!  Mine were: green wire is +, white wire is blue, blue wire is green. red wire is red

There r no wiring standards on most of this.   Even the ss items got done in two flavors, but r documented on the wiki.  Dmoore has done videos on all the rgb stuff and how you can't trust the wire colors ... Even between batches of same product sometimes ...

Truer words were never spoken...

Taybrynn, you using the 4 led square modules right and they work with SS gear, right?  Mine aren't working correctly but I suspect it is the 330 ohm resistor.  Running to rat shack at lunch...

I need to verify that for you.  I did think they were working but it's been awhile since I touched them.  I bought more , and I cant imagine doing that if I had problems.

I had problems with the resistors but only one type of ss item ... I think with the nodes or flex strips ??

Saw your other post in troubleshooting.  If you could test them to be sure that would be great.  THanks

I will ... I had two SSC wired just for them ... and just know I didn't use them in the show because I was putting them into RGB coroflakes ... and just ran out of time to build them.

Like I said, I'm pretty sure it worked, just because I initial bought some, tested, then bought a bunch more.  I have 100 modules now of this type.  So I sure hope they work.

I have found that the TM1804 tester isn't really a great tester for SSC operation, but is a good device (as you said) and does a lot of cool patterns that works well to burn in these items.
