Ummm.. Little tip to everyone —
If you have your NeoPixels connected to "Vin", be CERTAIN to double (or triple) check the output of the wall-wart BEFORE you plug it in.
Ah well, good excuse to place a new order!

Ouch welp atleast you'll get them replaced. And I have made a help thread to make a 5v power supply for the NeoPixels here: [101-Help]~12v -> 5v 1.5A Regulated PowerCircuit For NeoPixels.1chicagodave wrote:Done & done. Thanks.
