Searching through the forums haven't turned up an answer to this simple+newbie question:
On the Teensy LC home page it says:
"Teensy-LC provides a 5V output to directly drive WS2812/NeoPixel LEDs"
then it says:
"A 74LV1T125 buffer is connected to pin 17, with the increased output voltage available on another pin"
Here are the questions:
- what is the simplest circuit to explore WS2812 strips with Teensy-LC?
- can I do this with power from the USB alone?
- bonus question: how many LEDs could I hope to power off usb alone?
Any replies are greatly appreciated!
