Neopixels no longer work...

[poconosjon@aol.com]

Ok so big update 2... I finished swapping all the wiring for 20awg. Tested the new strips and verified they work. Soldered them to the PCB and hooked everything up... No lights. I tested for voltage along the strips and they read 4V so I know the electrical connections are good. Is it possible that the cfx board is not sending the data signal to turn them on? How can I check?

Thanks
Jon

I think,m the last time I saw this problem here, the solution was to change strippower=1111 to strippower=0000

Danny,

I will certainly try that... The other thing I noticed was the bladepower=10 which is 10%. I am going to put that to 100 to make sure they get the right amount of power. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks,
Jon

Danny,

With the strippower=0000 and the bladepower=100 I still get no lights.

strippower=1111 is for Neopixel strips.

Also, post your color profiles.

The config file you posted to me looks ok, though I think 144 is probably a bit much for your blade. Next step is to review your wiring. Good, clear close ups of your board will be necessary. Focus on the 4 Output pads on the CFX the junctions where your joining them.

Knight,

I have the full strips connected so 144 is correct. I have put the strippower setting back to 1111. I will take pictures and post them shortly. I really do appreciate all the help everyone has given me.

Here are the pictures... Again, I cannot thank you enough!

How about pictures (wider would be fine) of tHe connections from the 4 (-) wires down to the two, and the two(+) wires into the one that’s attached to the CFX?
