Please see attached pictures and post same ones.

I think that best way is to connect only one strip and test each channel separate.

Can you please post same images as me. Important is 5V voltage.

There was an error message- voltage out of range, visible on your post.

It seems that posted page is with farbwerk 360 without load. Voltage is OK. If you light up all strips (1 per chanell) what is visual of this page of farbwerk 360?

Please post photo of connection strip to strip, important is that strip has IN and OUT and connection cable between strips is twisted, not in the line.

Here you go, this is after channel 1 is connected with 3 LEDs strips, yes, cable connection is twisted OUT>IN direction and channel 3 with 1 LED strip. Channel 3 lights up and channel 1 just the first LED strip....

If you have covered in RGBpx of farbwerk 360 on channel 1 all 45 LEDs for control and only one strip (15 LEDs) working and rest of LEDs are without any action (and these 2 strips are tested like single and working good) there is probably problem in farbwerk 360 and unit can be claimed like warranty case.

Important is to check every connections and wirings. In same way check setting of RGBpx on every channel.

Tried again, one strip per channel, it worked until it flashed again the same error (Voltage out of range) and started red light blinking on the farbwerk 360...

From your posted picture is vissible that your voltage is under 4 Volts only on 60 LEDs !
What do you have for power supply unit (PSU)?
Do you not use some nice non-brand extension cable for PSU with bad crimp?

I have on full load = Brightness - 100% on 99 LEDs stable voltage 4,6 V.

Please post same picture as I in the bottom.

Definitely I think that problem is in the weak PSU or bad PSU cables, molex male or connector to PSU if you have modular PSU (especialy bad crimp).

I use Corsair RMi 1000, with custom cables but I did connect Farbwerk on separate PSU that I jump started....

Here are the screenshoots you asked, is that good/bad?
This is what I get with Corasir PSU. :thumbup:

3 connected strips work separately, I will try connecting them in one line to see if it will work...

This is after connecting all 4 LED strips on one RGBpx channel. Is that ok value?
I cant change controllers(like just to have ambientPx-which doesnt work at all...) without auto -turning off LED strips 2-3-4, then just the first one works. After factory reset , it works again, all 4 strips on 1 channel.

Thats mean, everything work and you are RGBpx happy?

See my values in the bottom. I think that values depend on LED mode (only solid colour or effect). I think that values are OK, important is there is no error message.
