Re: Neopixels & regulators
Note the old KOP regulator has a fairly high dropout. We used one in 2014 to power our lights, and everyone at competition kept asking why our lights would randomly flicker and turn rainbow. It was because anytime we would start moving the voltage would drop to 8 volts and the regulator would brown out. We used these this year, and they were much more reliable. http://www.amazon.com/NEEWER%C2%AE-U...eywords=bec+5v
