  1. btw, does anybody here on fedi have any experience with soldering bare #WS2812 / #SK6812 / #neopixels with a soldering iron?

    the packaging was pretty scary on expiration dates, saying that once the seal had been opened everything had to be used in 24 hours, or go through a baking process, because of moisture sensitivity.

    However, it also mentioned “reflow solder or other high temperature process”: does anybody know whether would it be safe to solder them with a soldering iron after some time in non-actively-dried storage?

  2. Hey fellow Neopixel/WS2812 fans: know of any in-production versions of smaller LED rings using 3535- or 2020-sized WS2812/SK6812 LEDs? (as opposed to the standard 5050 sizes most rings use) Seems like it’d be a great solution for putting around pots/encoders. I can’t find any on Ali
