do you have the grounds tied together?
okay so im having a dumb moment, ive been running ws2811 12mm nodes but just got 17ft of 2811 flex strip. they are 12v and i believe BRG. so here my dumb moment. i cant get them to do anything beside turn on and they turn white. i have 12v and GND both on a power supply and data to the assigned PIN on my mega. NOTHING!. am i doing something wrong cause clearly i am...please slap me with what is wrong
do you have the grounds tied together?

yes. tried to tie the two 12v leads and 2 grounds to power supply and nothing. just data connected to arduino
Make sure the arduino ground is also connected to the pixels ground / power supply ground
