Capacitors on 16 Neopixel ring..what size?

Post by chargerdude70 »

What size are the capacitors soldered on the 16 Neo pixel ring? The data sheet for the Neo pixels shows a .1uf solder with each individual pixel. That would make 16 to be on the ring but there is only 8. Does that mean the capacitor should be .2uf because they are doing double duty? I know nothing of electronics.
