I have been researching why I keep losing LEDs in my display and came across a tutorial from Adafruit where they recommend putting a capacitor between the + and - leads of the LED strip:
I noticed that the Octo has a capacitor in the schematic, so, is it still necessary to add one if you I am using an Octo adapter to control the LEDs? I also believe that the resistors that some people use in line with the LEDs are already built into the Octo.
In my setup, All my strips are wired to a bus bar for + and a seperate bus bar for -. Can I just put a capacictor between the bus bars instead of one on every strip?
