NeoPixel Wiring Mistake

Post by seshh01 »

Just received an order of 3m of the 60 LED/meter NeoPixel. Just want to give someone a heads up the the leads that came pre-attached are on the output (DO) side. This has no effect on me as i'm trimming them own to much smaller segments for my application but thought you might like to know in case someone else doesn't pay attention when they receive their's.

This is normal. Your section came from the last part of the reel:
http://www.adafruit.com/products/1376
They come in 5 meter reels with a 2-pin JST SM connector on each end and separated power/ground wires. These strips are sold by the meter! If you buy 5 meters at a time, you'll get full reels with two connectors. If you buy less than 5m, you'll get a single strip, but it will be a cut piece from a reel which may or may not have a connector on it.
