Chaining RGBpx strips to a Splitty4

Sunday, June 7th 2020, 3:11am

Hello,


A couple of month ago i bought an OCTO and 2 RGBpx strips kit (2x 60 leds). I used one RGBpx socket on the OCTO to connect 6 strips, that is 90 leds, and the other one to connect the remaining 2 strips, that is 30 leds.
Recently, my D-RGB EKWB stuff arrived and i realised that i need a way to control them. using a D-RGB splitter i can connect them directly to the mother board but the MSI software (Mystic light) is very limited. Furthermore is OS dependent so on Linux it doesn't works.


Suddenly i remembered that i have 2 Splitty4 and because D-RGB are 3 pin @ 5V leds i tried connecting them to the Splitty (Asus port) using the OCTO socket as a power to the Splitty IN port. That worked fine and leds were independently addressable.
After that i tried chaining the 2 RGBpx strips that were attached to the OCTO socket, to the OUT socket on the SPLITTY. Unfortunately, this doesn't worked... the two strips don't power on.
Did I connected the peripherals wrongly?


TLDR: i have an OCTO with 1 free RGBpx line + 1 SPLITTY4 and i want to connect 2 RGBpx strips (30 leds) + 2x pump + CPU waterblock + GPU waterblock leds. what can i do without buying other components?


Thanks

Thanks. On the manual it's not clear... they speak about this only on the Corsair connector section. On my use case, i was using the Asus port so i skipped that section.

I connected the pin 2 to the pin 4 on all the Corsair port and the chained rgbpx strips powered on :D
