T-8000 T-8000AC T-8000C T-8000A-TTL PIXEL LED CONTROLLER TUTORIAL

T-8000 is the boss of the T- Series offline Pixel LED Controllers .There are four main T-8000 series controllers namely T-8000,T-8000AC,T-8000C and T-8000A-TTL. Keep in mind that same model have different versions because every controller gets updated through out the time. This controller is expensive than the T-1000 series controllers but have some improved features . In this tutorial we will look into specifications , features , wiring methods ,software setup , programming and debugging  of the T-8000 pixel LED controller.

Features

T-8000 series Pixel LED controllers can drive up to 8192 LEDs or pixels .It has eight Ports for LED strings or strips. Each port can drive up to 1024 Pixel LEDs . It has Controller networking capability as in the T-1000S Pixel LED controller .Supports both 3 wire Pixel LED strings or Strips ( Vcc,Data,Gnd ) and 4 wire LED strings or Strips ( Vcc,Data,Clock,Gnd ). Also supports RS485 based Pixel LED strips or strings.

Frame Rate  

Frame rate is a impotent thing when it comes to Pixel LED Programming greater the frame rate smoother the frame transition , Low frame rate means rough transition , you will start to see the frame by frame transition
If you are using less than 512 LEDs or Pixels per port you can use the 30fps (Frames per seconds) .If you are using greater than 512 LEDs or Pixels per port the frame rate will be automatically reduces .

Software 

Software plays the most important part when it comes to Pixel LED programming.LedEdit is the most advanced and most developed Pixel LED programming software today. In order to program T-8000 controller you need LEDEdit 2012 or later  software version .Please download the latest LEDEdit software version from below link .

When you are selecting the controller from the list please follow this method .

Controller Name in the list = Controller Name + Drive chip Name
Eg- If your controller name is T-8000 and Drive chip name is WS2811, You should select T-8000-WS2811 from the list .
If you are using T-8000S or T-8000A controllers please select T-8000 as your controller . Because they are not listed due to the fact that they are based on T-8000 controller ( Different versions )
