In this video #1 we start with information on the power supply a 5V 60Amp aluminum chassis power supply, the T1000S controller, SD Card, and WS2801 IC LED strip lights.
-Proper wiring of the power supply, T1000S, and lights is discussed.
-How to defeat voltage drop (dimming of the lights toward the end of the display) by running wire at the end of the strip on the ground channel back to the ground at the controller.

Remember always ground your power supply, work with all components while the power is off, and always unplug the unit when either inserting the sd card or removing the sd card.
