What a 12v NeoPixel looks like!

Post by 1chicagodave »

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. :shock:

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.

-Enjoy.
