Please forgive the noob question. First, some background. The Due ARM chip runs on 3.3v, but it can provide 5v. There are, however, stern warnings about providing more than 3.3v current to any of the I/O pins, or this could burn out the board. Fair enough. Now, I have a series of addressable RGB LE…

WS2801 and WS2811 based RGB LED Strips with Due?

I don't see that the WS2811 can't run from 3.3V - they only provide characterists at 4.5-5V.
Give it a try, not gonna hurt anything.
