NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip order error

Post by humbytheory »

Not sure if this is the correct place but the email auto-responder said to post here...

Adafruit NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip was ordered and I believe was assembled and shipped incorrectly. The leads look to me to be on the incorrect end (arrows are going towards the wires not away) as per the image here: https://learn.adafruit.com/assets/17479

Nope it was assembled correctly. You need to solder wires on the other "input" end. The wires come on the output end so you can string more pixels together.

Yup, I should have read the description:

https://www.adafruit.com/products/1461
As of April 2nd, 2014 these come in 4 meter reels with a 2 or 3-pin JST SM connector on each end and separated power/ground wires. These strips are sold by the meter! If you buy 4 meters at a time, you'll get full reels with two connectors. If you buy less than 4m, 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.
Thanks for the clarification =)
