[QUOTE="HomeY, post: 1116075, member: 68365"] It's still highly recommended to put a 1000 uF capacitor on the +5V powerline, since the WS2812B are very sensitive LEDs. [url]http://www.tweaking4all.nl/hardware/arduino/arduino-ws2812-led/[/url] I think i've burned about 10 of them while testing :( The good thing is that you only need to 'cut' of the first LED, since the rest is still good (if it happens) ;) [/QUOTE]
