Nano Biscotte v4 and neopixel led strip
« on: June 18, 2018, 06:48:12 AM »
Hi all,

Hope this is the right place to ask. I'm building a sabre using a NB v4 and 2 neopixel strips powered by a 18650 lipo. Everything is fine if the blade is blue, but on red the strips only light up a 3rd of the way and everything locks up. Using either neopixel strip in isolation they work fine - its just when both strips are connected. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

you should post a video to show what your problem is. IMHO your data line is getting corrupted or one pixel could be problematic along the strip

Cheers! Unfortunately I haven't got my sabre with me at the moment - if it is a data corruption issue what would you recommend?

Based on the sound it makes the batterie dies during the blade ignition

Don't think it's the batteries - works fine with blue blade.
