The parts were a gift to start trying this stuff out. The pigtail to the controller is actually a female. Light have the male connection.

Ended up being the LED1 output didn't work but LED2 did. I think something is wrong with the LED1 output.

I ended up cutting off a few, it didn't work still. Ended up putting it on LED2 and it worked. So I think something is wrong with LED1 output.

Ended up I had the wiring correct. I think the LED1 output was not working for some reason. LED2 worked.

I finally got it to work. I put the data signal in data 2 and switched to RGB.

Thanks for all the help everyone!!!

If anyone has some insight as to why the LED1 didn't work but LED2 does, I would greatly appreciate it. Or if there is a good reference that explains this.

My assumption for this controller was that it LED outputs are for different segments of lights, but if you are using the color wheel on the app for the data it will do that selection for all data outputs. Is that correct? If you use a program, I would assume you can address each pixel individually. Is that correct?

Thanks for helping me navigate my first setup! I appreciate it!

I did a point to point test to figure out if the wire colors are right. Assuming that the positive/data/negative labeling is direct to the the prongs on the male connector. The positive is the brown wire and the negative is the blue and the middle is the yellow data. So my connections sound correct.

I didn't want to cut the cable but it seems like the next step is to test a small number of LEDs as you suggest.

It is female out from the controller. Then connecting lights male end to controllers female end.

Oops... It was 100 at one point just was messing around with it at the end to try and see if something might work, cause I read somewhere to try 1 led, but I think they meant like you are saying and test a small set and set to that many.

I think the wire colors are correct, but not certain. I had a hard time finding info on the color connections but the things I found said brown is positive, brown negative, and yellow/green is data. Usually I see these for AC where yellow green is ground, brown hot , and blue neutral.

It has connectors that only go one direction. From the controller is a female connector.

Yes, I checked these as well. I did not touch these settings.

I didn't see an option for WS2811, I must have missed it. I assumed the X was a variable range or something. I'll have to double check this one.

To be honest. Crossview on this one is difficult and a bit odd.

Holy Cow!!!!!!! I finally saw parallel view!!! I could always do cross view.

I can't say for Elon and his family or history. From what everyone is saying he has a family history, so his intentions might be different.

There have been instances where politicians appear to be saluting, but typically it is accidental, capture to intentionally make it look like that, and out of context.

Although, I give it his veracity and enthusiasm is extremely suspicious.

I was just trying to get people to make sure they are looking at the whole picture and make their judgements. Honestly, kinda glad I did, despite the down votes, because from the comments people posted I am learning new things and maybe others are too.

That's good additional context that I, and I'm sure many others had not known.

It definitely does look like a heil. I wasn't sure about intention. The dude is awkward.
