I was wondering if someone could instruct me on how to combine both the flat and bullet style RGB pixels into a single controlled strand.
I know that the tutorial says that the wiring is different for each one, but could I use some connectors and jumper wires to connect the appropriate wires in each set?
Due to space and angle limitations, I need to have 2 strands of 25 bullet style RGB pixels, and then 2 strands of 25 flat style RGB pixels, then my arduino, which is all run off my power supply.
Currently I only have the 50 flat RGB pixels connected to the arduino, and I have yet to place the order for the bullets, in case I also need anything else (like connectors).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Neopixel wiring question
Which LEDs are we talking about #322 RGB (non-neopixel) LED strand or #1734/#1837 neopixel LEDS?

Re: Neopixel wiring question
Sorry for the confusion. I had always referred to these as neopixels, when in fact they are just RGB Pixels.
I am referring to these:

and these:

Thank you for your assistance.

Re: RGB pixel wiring question
Actually, i had already read that numerous times. Thats where i learned that you cant just plug one kind into another because the wiring was laid out differently on each one. It never occurred to me to use the diagrams to determine which was which and wire them using jumper wires. Thank you for the eye opening post.
