Greetings! I got my Diy led setup 66.6% done now and the part that is hooked up has worked nice and dandy. So the thing is that I have now 34 leds that I need to get hooked on 1 driver, but as I tried to do it, all I got from it was creepy buzzing sound without any light. The tricky part is that i'm not quite feeling how to hook them as pairs (in series) to parallel build. This is the led stripe (Not quite sure if exactly that but same specs.) https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/ ... ND/7907657
I tried to draw the basic consept how I hooked them.
Here is pictures how they are set up (2x 17,):
Here is the driver:
Ask me anything if your dont get what I mean :d.
Having problem while hooking the last set of strips.

Seems like it should work.
Did you turn the Vo.adj all the way up on the driver? Thats all I got.

I think you have the wiring backwards.
Your drawing doesn’t make much sense because parallel wiring requires both + and -. This could just be my interpretation of your layout tho.
Two strips should be connected in series, then each pair should be wired in parallel.
Here’s an example of the wiring I did on a small scale.
I have one build very similar to yours except I used the 36v version driver.

Thanks all, your lill better pics helped me quite much to confirm my idea. Found out I was doing it the right way (As best shown in Hydrofoods drawing.) , but there was something wrong with either the driver settings or hook ups . As I did second round checking and tightening the hooks, and adjusting the driver, it worked!
Thanks again to everyone for your interest.
