To connect the OCTO MK2 LED Pixel Controller to your LED pixel dots or tape, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that the OCTO MK2 is located as close as possible to the first pixel in your chain to reduce voltage drop.
2. Make sure that the data is flowing from the OCTO MK2 to the "Data IN" connection of your pixels. The pixel data is unidirectional.
3. The maximum recommended cable distance between the OCTO MK2's data output and the first pixel is 3 meters (9.84 feet).
4. Avoid running data cabling close to sources of electromagnetic interference (EMF), such as mains power cabling or air conditioning units.
5. Do not overstretch the cabling to the device's connectors and ensure that the cabling does not exert force on the PCB.
6. Do not "hot swap" or "hot plug" power to the device or its accessories.
7. Do not connect any of the device's V- (GND) connectors to earth.
8. Do not connect the device to a dimmer pack or mains electricity.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure a proper and safe connection between the OCTO MK2 LED Pixel Controller and your LED pixel dots or tape. For more detailed information, refer to the ENTTEC 71521 OCTO MK2 LED Pixel Controller User Manual.
