Are there are any specific requirements, besides matching the polarity of the capacitor, DC power terminals, and Neo Pixel terminals, for the capacitor. Obviously, my inexperience shows because I'm mostly familiar with wiring in series and parallel. Based on the imageBefore connecting a NeoPixel strip to ANY source of power, we very strongly recommend adding a large capacitor (1000 µF, 6.3V or higher) across the + and – terminals. This prevents the initial onrush of current from damaging the pixels.
and reviewing numerous forum posts, it seems like the capacitor terminals and the Neo Pixel leads are just all joined together in the terminal. I'm just trying to confirm that this is true, or if I have to position the leads from the Neo Pixels in a particular way relative to the capacitor terminals. Does that make sense?
I have just purchased a few 35v 1000 uF capacitors for this step.
