Re: Neopixels & regulators

On our robot this year, we used an Arduino to control two 60 led strips, and we are using the two VRM ports power on it. Also, we have an inline resistor to the signal cable and a capacitor in line to the strip power cables to smooth out the voltage/current. Works perfectly.

The real problem with computers is that they do what you tell them to do, not what you want them to do.
