Hi everyone,
I'm new to this, and I just wanted to check in here to make sure everything I'll be doing is correct so I don't burn out my LED's. I purchased 30 of these NeoPixels (https://www.adafruit.com/products/1376), and I'll be placing them to a pegboard behind plexiglass. I'll be using a Teensy 3.1 to control them.
The power supply I have is:

This should be sufficient, as 900 LED's x 60mA = 51.74 amps, correct? I did some reading, and picked up a Teensy 3.1 OctoWS2811 Adaptor as well, would this be good for this project? Is there anything else I would need?
Thank you in advance.

Re: First NeoPixels Project
That's what the OctoWS2811 is designed for.
Don't just power the strips from one end. Run the strips in parallel from the power supply. See our 'Powering NeoPixels' tutorial
