Great lil boards, have been meaning to get my hands on one after Murray’s sweet Borg cube project and the forum topic exploring why sometimes the clock-less protocols weren’t working.

Some notes:

  • I had to change the colour output, not uncommon for LED strips - the format for mine was GRB, instead of GlowBits - RGB.
  • My default code tried to address 300 LEDs (not the single one connected) - after setting it correctly at one behavior was a-ok
