Hi
I am working on refurbishing old LED parcans by using WS2812 LED's in concentric rings. This will be DMX controlled via teensy. My first issue is how to solder the LED concentric rings. The distance between the pads is 10mm. So there is a ground line and a voltage line running straight between all the rings and then data is short pieces alternation on the sides.
I would like it to be as neat and small (less wire) as possible.
Is the best way to just solder naked, exposed copper wire between all the relevant pads? I cannot think that it is good to have that as exposed wire in my housing, so how do I make it safe?
