Hi,
Is there a "Best Practices" guide for powering addressable LED strips, low and high power? A guide like Adafruit has in their explore and learn section? https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-neopixel-uberguide/best-practices
Unfortunately, I have damaged two Teensy 3.6's and one of my PC's USB ports because I didn't realize you're not supposed to power the Teensy with 5V while simultaneously connected to USB. A costly lesson, but I am smarter for it. It forced me to dive deeper into the forums and discover where I made my mistakes. With that being said, I still think there should be a guide. I am guessing there is, but I just haven't found it.
P.S. The Audio board tutorials and videos are so well done. Amazing job you guys!
