[QUOTE="Rick164, post: 1128247, member: 17766"] The resistor is mainly to protect your leds from power surges/fluctuations, as we connect them at both ends its recommended but for testing you could do without them so long as your power source is reliable. The data line is indeed only at the beginning i.e. where the arrows point away from the connector, both the red and black cable in the diagram needs to be connected at the beginning and end and connected them that way without issues :) So long as its from the same single power source it doesn't have any downsides that I know of, [USER=97876]@Lightning303[/USER] might know more on the matter as he's our teams engineer aka master builder :D :cool: [/QUOTE]
