I did a little searching but haven't yet found anything to help me out.
I just purchased some 5v RGBW LED tape, a DMX decoder, and some power supplies. I thought it would be easy to wire up. It is not. And I'm afraid I may have purchased an incorrect part or two.
So, the tape has 5 wires, like RGBW should have, but one is the V+ one is V- (which I wasn't expecting) and three wires (R, G, W) in the connector. When I cut the connector and stripped off the heat shrink wrap, it looks like the V+ and V- are doubled and all RGBW signals go through one wire. Can I wire this into my decoder? Or do I need something different?
