Audectra problems

[asim1999]

Hey guys, just a little update on the project. Everything works EXCEPT for the LEDs

Here is a pic of my setup:

When i change mode in the Audectra software, the Arduino flashes, so i know what it is connected up correctly, but the LEDs do not turn on

Anyone?

Anyone?

 

For testing purposes to make sure the LED strip works connect them to a RGB controller or simply a single line to 12V to see if it turns on at all. Also I'm not sure why you are using an RGB amplifier those are only necessary if your connection hunreds of feet of LED strips usually.

Well it said in the Audectra instructions

You have to follow the signal path to find the error:

 

1) Measure the output voltage of the arduino. Set it to high or low continuously. Effect?

2) Measure the output of the RGB amplifier. Does the voltage change according to the input voltage?

 

Are you sure you haven't mixed up some signals?

Well I guess it would make sense if it Ardunio isn't powerful enough and the RGB signal and needs it to be boosted but also as Stefan1024 said double check the wiring diagram here:
