what is the pinout for the neopixel fairy lights

Post by blicken »

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.

From https://www.adafruit.com/product/4917:
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.
Once it's wired you just treat them like a strand of 100 NeoPixels.
