Message : I ordered 2 -- Adafruit NeoPixel Digital RGBW LED Strip - White
PCB 60 LED/m PID: 2842. It came as a 2 meter strip. The strip does not seem to work. I have validated my software
and the ardunio controller on on a 8 Neopixel strip and it worked correctly.
I tried both:
Adafruit_NeoPixel pixels = Adafruit_NeoPixel(NUMPIXELS, PIN,NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);
Adafruit_NeoPixel pixels = Adafruit_NeoPixel(NUMPIXELS, PIN, NEO_GRBW + NEO_KHZ800);
Neither option worked with the string.

Re: Neopixel Strip
Can you show the actual connection to the strip with the first few pixels. Make sure you are feeding into the input side of the strip.

Re: Neopixel Strip
Thanks so much. I connected the control signal on the terminal block thinking that was Din. Din was on the other end. Once I connected to Din the strip worked correctly.

Re: Neopixel Strip
Another question, I accidentally connected 12 volts to another strip I had. Do you suppose that all of the neopixels got destroyed?

Re: Neopixel Strip
You can test the strip and see. If it doesn't work you can cut the first pixel off and try again.
