hi,
for an art project i will insert 60+ ws2811 leds (12mm,blurred) into a white wall. i will use these here (probably two strips):
https://www.amazon.com/ALITOVE-Addressable-Digital-Diffused-Waterproof/dp/B06XD72LYM
since the holes are further apart then the strip allows i will cut the three wires and prolong the connection in between.
the following question popped up.
if i cut the 50 pieces apart and put them back together, does the order matter? i know i can have a rail for 5v and GND and just run cables to each individual LED, but what about the programming pin? do i start at one LED and go sequentially to the next? do i have to keep the same order they came in? or is order defined by the leds themselves? (some variable that counts up each time the control signal passes thru a LED-IC for example). before i start cutting those up it would be great to know
cheers
