LED Flickering Problem Solved

[Michael M]

Just thought I'd give you my experience in setting up Fadecandy.  My setup is an outside 12' Xmas tree 8 channel.  Everything went well with the exception of channel 6.  It basically had a mind of its own.  Swapped LED string, cable, checked power to it, even swapped the board, nothing seemed  to fix it until I discovered the A/C line cord laying across the D/C serial cable to the LED string.

 I also had general flicking with most of the LED's after the A/C line cord issue, I realized the sensitivity of outside interference.  So I rewired the whole setup as per these instructions.

and kept the A/C incoming completely separated from the LED communications lines.

Now all is good.  Hope this helps!
