thank you all for the replies. I ended up connecting vcc for both controllers to gpio pin2 (5v) and crossed my fingers that my pi didn’t explode when powered. to my surprise IT WORKED!!! I now have both controllers working perfectly. I have read that there is supposed to be some protection (diode+resistor?) on the data pins could you tell me how that is supposed to work?
