If that doesn’t work, I’ve got spare fuses.
I ran everything with that. The calculators said it wouldn't work. It works just fine. I have runs up to 50'-75' with no issues.

I finally got my dig-quad and psu in but am having issues. The board acts like it’s getting no power. No led light up on the board but the one on the psu does. I setup the wifi connection just fine using the usb port and my laptop.
Any thoughts?

How are you powering the Dig Quad?

I do not own a quad but do have the octa, so my power and cpu have separate power inputs. This board is a little odd because it has 3 power options, but it sounds like one is not working:
1) usb (seems like it worked)
2) dedicated 5/12v in
3) I believe it can sip power off the main in/through (but it sounds like this is not functioning)
Want to try running a +/- to the dedicated 12v in, making sure the jumper is on (removing it tells it to accept 5v power), and see if that works?
And if that doesn’t, plug USB back in. If it comes to life then, then I’d email Quindor. If it does not, it sounds like something got fried between setting wifi and plugging power in.

Do I need to be providing power to both inputs on the board?
Also, what jumper?

Not to be lazy, but they have a pretty well thought out wiring guide.
My understanding is you don’t HAVE to provide power with the extra/2nd 5v input, but it’s available.
And I may have misspoke- the usb could be/probably is covered in the standard setup, so it’s probably only 2 real power options in most cases.

Yeah I’ve looked at that but I guess I have the next version.
It actually says “no jumper needed” on it in the bottom right of this pic haha

I would guess a bad power connector pin/loose connection.
Worth reaching out to the seller- he’s supposed to be real responsive.
But the good news is it looks like you could probably power the “brain” or esp32 with a separate USB power supply in the meantime and confirm that the rest of the connectors (data) work and turn the lights on/off.

So the issue was that I had a very small component that broke off in the packaging. I was able to solder it back on and finally got the board powered back up.
I temp installed the lights on the back patio to play around with for new years. The wife and kids enjoyed them and I had fun running through the different effects.
Ill have to make a game plan on how to tackle doing the whole house.

I have a Govee LED strip along the ceiling on my front porch. Gives the nice glow to the porch area. I change the colors throughout the year and have them programmed to turn on/off at specific times.k
On a side note, smart lights are great for when you will be out of time for an extended period. My lights turn on/off at night just like if someone was home. Alexa tries to emulate our light usage pattern, so it isn't just on a timer.
