Led strip problem

@BKeyport thx. no data line, just power & ground. right now I just soldered the leads on to one end. got to find another clip on to try the other. there is power over there, for the third strip, so can add leads to the back of the long strip. less heat would be a good outcome

@sdetweil for the test, don’t have the input end connected, FWIW. Forgot that part. If it lights with just the output end connected, you’ve got the standard setup.

@BKeyport , @sdetweil I found the answer to my problem. By moving places to the components I found out the arduino board was too close to a coil from TV’s power circuit board and that was the one which caused the problem. I screwed arduino at the opposite side which a decent distance from the coil and everything worked fine. But I will also try what @BKeyport suggested by ppowering the strip from both ends. So @BKeyport only power and ground on both ends and data only on one end right?
-
@Anthony correct. leave the data disconnected on the far end.

@BKeyport Thank you very much.
