Hi everyone I have an issue with getting these LEDs to cooperate.
I'm using a 470ohm resistor on the data port and a capacitor for the power. I complied and uploaded the "strandtest"(I changed the variables NUM_LED & LED_PIN) and this occurs [10s Video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xabkHW1xgFo9kh3YnGwIsaS5tSfFCsrb/view?usp=sharing] This happens to all code in a loop. If I send no signals (aka put an empty pin and run) then the lights that were last on stay lit. If I try to clear the LED nothing happens. If I try to set a specific LED to a specific color/brightness nothing happens.
I'm at my wit's end; help a brother out!
