Hope you are doing well! I wanted to get your support for a weird issue I have on my circuit. Thanks in advance!
Material:
Li-ion battery 3.7V/6600 mAh + PowerBoost 500 Basic supplying the whole thing with 5V, 1µF Capacitor between +/-
Adafruit Pro Trinket 5V
RGB NeoPixels groups (1 x 2 neo, 3 x 5 neo & 1 x 9 neo), 470 Ohm resistor on the data pin
Issue:
When pushing red, blue or green or any combinaison of two colors, it works fine. However, when pushing the three colors together I observe some flickering green in the overall white the neos produce. Only the groups of 5 NeoPixels get this issue (pins 4, 5, 6), the group of 9 (pin 3) and the group of 2 (pin 8) turn white with no problem... I tried to switch pins already, same issue...
I will try to use other group of five as some neopixel could be damaged in those chains... This is the only issue I can come up with...
Any idea or experience sharing about the same?
Thanks a lot in advance!
