Pixel/RGB Wiring Colors

Pixels generally have 3-4 wires connected to each pixel:

  1. +5 or +12VDC Power Feed
  2. Ground Power Feed
  3. Data/ Signal
  4. Clock (not on all pixels)

Because pixels are sending control signals down the wires, there is an input set of wires and an output set of wires coming from each pixel. You can generally find markings such as words or arrows that identify the data direction for each set of wires by looking closely at the printed circuit board inside of the pixel. Other clues may include individual pin markings such as "SDO" Serial Data Output, "SDI" Serial Data Input, "CKO" Clock Output or "CKI" Clock Input. it is common to have the power on the two outer wires on a pixel and the data and clock as the inside wires. Many strings come two ground wires connected to the input and output sides.

Unfortunately there is no standard wiring color code for pixels supplied by different manufacturers.
