I have some fairy lights,, they have a red wire, and two clear wires.
I want to know what pins are what. I feel like I have tried all the combinations, for +5, Data, and gnd.
the datasheet is not useful. https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/product-f ... 1+-+A+.pdf
and the neopixel uber guide has nothing specific about how to hook these up.
what is the pinout for the neopixel fairy lights

Once it's wired you just treat them like a strand of 100 NeoPixels.Connecting to these may be a little tricky because there are no power/data markings (there's no PCB!) The red wire (the more coppery-red wire) is power. The middle wire is data. The remaining wire is ground. Scratch or burn off the magnet-wire coating to solder to it with an iron. Of course, there's no input/output side for these pixels because they have one data line.
