Hi there,
This is precisely what I've built:
It is wired in the exact same manner, using the same LED strips and the same transformers. The problems I'm experiencing are as follows:
- The transformers occasionally (but not always) make a worrying buzzing noise. This problem does not always occur immediately after plugging it in. When using less than 1% power (all LEDs set to 1/255 on their respective RGB channels), the problem is far less likely to occur.
- I'm also getting odd data glitches (again, more frequent on full brightness), but can occur under any situation. Large sections (or sometimes an entire strip) can flash full brightness for a fraction of a second, some LEDs can flicker between different colours, things like this. I'd say 9/10 of the updates are displaying things correctly but the constant glitches are rendering the display unusable.
Any ideas what may be causing these faults or how to fix it? It almost seems as if there's some kind of interference or short somewhere but I can't find any.
