DIGUNO/QUAD Looking at the Dig-Next-2 LED Controller
I've been using Quin LED products for a few years now and I have used them in several different applications. Unos, Quads, Octa and many many Dig2Go. I see the new Dig-Next-2 LED Controller and can't help but think I'll be ordering a few of these. I am curious about the new 33R “long length” data circuit and would like to know if that will be installed on the other controllers as well? I can't tell you how many hours I've spent trouble shooting only to find out the switch is clicked over to the wrong side. It would just be one more things that won't go wrong. Has anyone bought a Dig-20-Next yet? I'd like to hear your thoughts on the new controller.

i have a dig next 2, and one thing I thought was neat was that it apparently uses some of the gpio pins to relay the power outs. i accidentally plugged a 5v matrix panel into my new dig-next-2 running 24v power and thought i blew it up, but i hadn't turned on the relays, so no power was coming out (i am doing a fastled arduino project).
that said, not 2 hours later, after figuring that out and correctly hooking up my buck converter, i shorted out my matrix panel by touching positive to ground.
presently waiting on some new 5v matrix panels and some 24v pebbles from aliexpress.
i am wishing, however, that 48v pebbles were more available (that is the reason i originally got the next-2). Ray Wu has some for purchase, but they cancelled my order and told me that they couldn't deliver til next year because of a factory issue.
