Datasheet

Alright! Now we can power our LEDs. Next, we need to get data from the Fadecandy

Controller to the NeoMatrix. Just like power, we need two wires for data. The positive wire

(DIN) carries video data, and the negative wire (GND) completes the circuit.

The recommended way of wiring the Fadecandy Controller's ground (GND) wire is to run

separate wires from the Fadecandy Controller to your LED strips, and to keep its ground

wire paired with its data wire. Keeping your data wires and power wires separate is good

practice for creating reliable projects. At this small of a scale it isn't a big deal, but this will

help a lot with reliability on larger projects.

For the signal wires, I used slightly thinner wires, 26 gauge. It's useful to use two different

colors, so you can tell the wires apart. I used red and black again. If you like to, you can

twist the wires to keep them tidy, but this isn't required.
