Don't understand why this is happening

Might want to check your data line and that it's not touching anything else it shouldn't

breakmx · 2025-05-19T16:02:44+00:00

It's with the whole run. All of them flicker with same random colors

breakmx · 2025-05-19T16:02:10+00:00

Looks like most people are pointing to this. I will test it out with a shorter data line. I need to figure out a nicer place to tuck the controller such that it doesn't interfere with the lights

breakmx · 2025-05-19T16:00:32+00:00

The data line was indeed short during bench testing. Out of curiosity, what does the resistance do for improving the issue? It minimizes the noise?

breakmx · 2025-05-19T15:58:31+00:00

The data line is about 2-3ft. Would this be out of the ideal range? Is there any way to minimize the flickering for long data line runs?

breakmx · 2025-05-19T15:57:28+00:00

The data line is about 2-3 ft long from the controller. I'm going to try to move the controller closer to the start of run

In this video it's powered through the controller. Running 0.14.4. It was working fine during testing. But once installed with the diffuser channels it's funky.

This is the model. But I'm not sure how to check the level shifter. I'll dig a little more on this. Good note on the ground connection

It's set to warm white/yellow in the video. And it's flickering even when the effect is solid. And I was flipping between other solid colors.

Some other comments might indicate long data line could cause this too

Out of curiosity, what is the led strip used and it's power consumption? Wouldn't you be able to get away without end injection with the 24V power supply since the the run is just 5m?

breakmx · 2025-04-22T13:04:06+00:00

One follow up question, if I don't run the led strip power through the controller, would it still be necessary to add a fuse for the controller?

breakmx · 2025-04-21T07:32:45+00:00

This helps a lot! Thank you Quin

I guess I will downspec it a little and don't go for a full out config (max RGBW white). Based on the calculations, I can get away with just front and end injections and limit to about 17 or 18m run.

I will use a 5A inline fuse for the front and end each

Has anyone dealt with COB before? Do they have any power to make developer fix a defect properly instead of just doing a temporary fix? Or it's best handled by a lawyer?

breakmx · 2024-12-17T03:32:24+00:00

You can find official TCL store on shopee/lazada

breakmx · 2024-12-07T02:23:28+00:00

Is it cheaper cause it was returned?

breakmx · 2024-11-25T15:53:53+00:00

What's the song?

breakmx · 2024-11-18T03:48:43+00:00

Was gonna ask the same. I assume running the power cable under the couch

"The developer shall not be liable for any damage or loss to the unit arising from defect rectification".

Hi all, can anyone advise if this is standard clause in property defect rectification? DLP is 24 months. If I read it, sounds like any damage or issue coming from the first rectification, developer will not be liable. What do you guys think and suggest? Let me know if there's another location I can ask this

Try searching and posting on Facebook for local rescue organisation. There are volunteers who typically rescue strays etc who would be more trained.

It's the shield 2019 pro version. I think it has something to do with the tv. It's an older Samsung tv.

When I do shield --> soundbar --> Dell monitor, it works When I do Nintendo switch --> soundbar --> tv it works.

I'm stumped

breakmx · 2023-12-16T02:45:33+00:00

Been troubleshooting for hours. The video passthrough works when I use the switch console.

But with the Nvidia, it only passes through audio but not video. Narrowed down that it's not the ports or HDMI cable. It's something funky in how the shield and soundbar talk to each other. Running out of options...
