Hello all
I have a Teensy 3.6 outputting Fastled data. Reasonably simple project. 12v RGB strip by the way.
I need to extend the cable to the leds, and at 3m I am starting to get data issues. I believe it is because the 3.3v output is borderline for the strip IC to deal with.
I would like to make a simple booster circuit (or preferably buy one) that will bump that 3.3v Fastled data up to 5v.
But I understand that some of these 3.3v to 5v level shifters don't play well with the data speeds that Fastled uses.
Anyone have any suggestions or advice? Maybe a suggestion of a suitable level shifter.
Thank you
