Hi. I will power a ws2812b led strip from its ends with 2 difference sources. AI told me to cut in the middle of the strip the V connection. Then it gave contradictory info about the ground path. Since common ground is expected of the general systrm I asumed didnt have to cut ground. Ai said if i d…

Is a ws2812b 60 led per meter, so 90 leds = 1.5 mts

My Xmas round-the-windows LED strip has 114 LEDs. Powered by USB wall wart from one end only, runs continuously for a couple of months.

What is 1.5 mts? If it's supposed to be Metres or Meters the abbreviation is M. Only the USA uses Meter, all the rest of use Metre.

[image] sonofcy: abbreviation is M The abbreviation of metre is "m".

[image] sonofcy: Only the USA uses Meter To me (NZ) a meter is an instrument, like volt meter. Metre is for length. This thread is a cross-post . OP should have asked for an explanation of the already given advice there. Leo..

My bad. I thought since was a new question, a new post En Argentina is metros, ab. Mts. I guesed meters would be Mts too. my bad again

Since you like to use Ai instead of trying to understand the underlying problem... This is what Google has to say about it: " For long, high-density strips, it is best to assume a maximum current draw of 60mA per pixel (5V) for planning your power supply, but ensure no more than 4A-5A flows throug…

[image] Wawa: Powering at the beginning and 2/3th of the way could be more economic True. I power just in the middle if I don't have pre-wiring. OP should post his power supply specs and description what he is willing to do with this strip.

In this post is the power details [image] 4.500 leds. How to power? General Guidance I meant 5amp fuse for each 45 led strip
