Im guessing the confussion is about whether to use physical pin 6 or labeled pin 6 (D6). Guesswork here, but its probably D6 and not physical pin 6. There is no need for a DAC, and even though that pin will probably be able to do the same digtial tasks you normaly wont use it. If anybody speeks about "digital pin 6" its gonna be D6.No difference. Also, sometimes the vendor just labels it wrong.AtmoLight logs to MediaPortal.log. AtmoOrb included. However not ever single color is being logged. What exactly do you want to monitor?The "need" is more of a protection that is optional. WS2812b likes to die quite fast if you do something wrong. So using a resistor helps protect it a bit. But its not needed.
