Hi!
Over the winter break I picked up an AllPixelMini and a Dotstar LED Strip https://www.adafruit.com/product/2239 for a fun father and son (I work in tech) project. When I run the sample from https://github.com/ManiacalLabs/AllPixel/wiki/Library-Install-and-Strip-Example after updating to use type ‘APA102’ I hear windows make a sound like a USB was unplugged and the LED strip doesn’t do anything. I’m assuming that sound is the AllPixelMini rebooting as it only does it when I change types . I’m not receiving code error when running the script. Curious if I need to be pushing more power or if I missed a step? See below for details and thanks in advance for the help! - Justin
Here is my wiring:
