Soldering NeoPixels mini together

Post by ssquid »

Hi,

I purchased 10 separate NeoPixels mini. So far I managed to test one (working fine) and combination of two... Which appeared to be a complete failure. I soldered them both in the way presented in the attached image.

Is it the power issue? How much should I supply for it then (one works perfectly on 3.3)? I want to have 4 or 5 in the row.

Thanks for help,
S

What you are doing should work. There will be no power issues for only 4 or 5 pixels. Check your soldering again. It's also possible that you have a bad NeoPixel. Try soldering some different ones together.
