My wife and I have a project in mind, but we'll need to cut up one of the NeoPixel strips I ordered into sections, and attach them with wires. We'll probably need 8 small sections of four NeoPixels each, and have each section be separated by 4 or 5 inches of wire.
I'm wondering what the max distance between each section can be before we start running into problems with wire capacitance, etc (I imagine that sort of thing is why there's that 330ohm resistor at the beginning of the strip)?
Thanks!
Maximum distance between NeoPixels?

Re: Maximum distance between NeoPixels?
4 or five inches is not a problem. I wouldn't expect any issues until you get beyond a meter.
