I was making the LED display board for the Bluetooth speaker project.
The LED used in this project -- commonly referred to as "Neopixels" for being "new pixels" because they're intelligent in a way -- almost requires a small capacitor (0.1 microfarads) in order to function without malfunctions and glitches.
The problem isn't that it needs those things, the problem is that I freaking forgot to put the damn thing in the first place.
Uh-oh.
It's 8*8 pixel display, so there are 64 LEDs. The power line is almost guaranteed to be unstable.
Why didn't I catch that from the start, you ask? This is why.
I read the datasheet too late.
(Kids, this is why you should always read the fucking datasheet before stepping into the muck!)
FUCK.
I caught this error at THIS stage:
Well, shit. Looks like our trip to the park is not only unpaved, but it's full of rocks and bumps. And our car is running on donut tires.
Anyway, the project can be viewed and cloned at:
