Hey, awesome! Thanks. I learned 2 things today.
So you've had success cutting and rewiring these up? and length limitations? sample code or pitfalls to look out for/advice?
Taking another look at the Amazon one, they do have a clock (4 pins, not 3). The Pololu one's are like yours where it's a single wire. Other than that I don't know the difference. In fact, I'm not sure how to drive either one of them. It seems like the bit-banged ones require knowing the ns timing and making sure its hit accurately. I guess the one with a clock only requires the clock to be driven high. Honestly I have no idea how to drive these things and it seems to me like every led strip has it's own library and hardware requirements. I feel like it's not as steep a learning curve as I'm making it out to be, but the infinite hardware combinations are making it complex.
Thanks again.
