4.2 - Output Fuses & Power Injection
Each individual output is protected by a mini blade fuse. The PixLite 16 Mk2 comes
with 4A fuses by default. You may use any value of fuse, up to and including 7.5A,
depending on your specific application. Individual outputs should not exceed 7.5A
and the total bank current should not exceed 32A. If your application requires more
current than this, then you will need to inject power into the pixels directly.
The number of pixels that can be physically powered through this device may not be
as high as the amount of pixel control data that is being output. There is no definitive
rule as to how many pixels can be powered from the controller, as it depends on the
type of pixel. You need to consider if your pixel load will draw more than 7.5A of
current and whether there will be too much voltage drop in the pixel load for it to only
be powered from one end. If you need to “inject power” we recommend bypassing
the controller’s power output pins entirely.
4.3 - Logic Power
No on- board power configuration is required. Power to the logic circuitry is
automatically regulated from the bank 1 power input. Simply connect your DC power
