Hello. This is my first project with the Teensy (Using arduino for about a year). I'm making 5 small infinity mirrors with the letters to my niece's name inside. 170 LED's. I have pin 6 of the teensy connected directly to the LED strip WS2812. Does it matter which pin I use? This setup works great with the adafruit neopixel library. The problem is that I want to use the fastled library. When I use the DemoReel100, it really doesn't work. It looks choppy and barely works, if at all. Only one of the "demo's" really works.
I am not currently using a resistor on the data line. The idea (in my head) was the 3.3v of teensy might work with the 5v lights with no resister. Is this safe for long term? If the neopixel library works fine, I'm guessing this isn't the problem I'm getting for fastled.
Any thoughts or criticism greatly appreciated. Thank you.
