Weird WS2812B Problem

cashilysh:
First of all, thanks for the tips!

I didn't really find the problem, it wasnt the solder connection, capacitor or data line resistor, however:

When I plug the arduino in with my mini USB cable it everything works just fine, but with the direct USB wire I soldered on RAW Pin, Ground PIN and USB Data wires directly to the ATmega it doenst work like I showed.

I still dont know what caused my problem but, I just use it with the mini USB now.

Thanks!

Was that wire a 5V wire you soldered to Vraw?
If so you need at least 7V on Vraw as it is the input to the 5V linear regulator.
You connect 5V to the 5V pin of the Micro.
Please consult a circuit of a Micro to see how to treat it with care. (google)
Please post a circuit diagram of your project, this could have been solved ages ago and you have been asked for a circuit so many times.
