    if they light up. the only thing I ever see does not start the board correctly .... that is, I have to turn it off and turn the switch again and then if it goes.

    Can you send a short video of the issue? You should be able to attach it to this thread.

    Hi friend. i have almost finished project from raygun. I have a doubt that I see. If the lights never come on, could it be due to low battery?

    If the LEDs are the only thing that don't turn on, then the battery is not the issue. Here's my LED check list: 1. Are the arrows for the LED signal flow going in the right direction?

    2. Do the LEDs have proper power (BAT and GND)?

    3. Do the LEDs work when using an example code?

    4. Does a new strip of LEDs work?


    If nothing is turning on, then the battery is most likely the issue. If you're using a battery from Amazon or a company other than Adafruit, the leads of the battery might be reversed. When plugged into the board, the Red wire lead should be on the left and the black wire lead should be on the right.

    So and read both in adafruit are ws2812 controller strips


    Which is the same. I think I'll try to see if it works. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again. You're a genius

    Are you in Spain? Try this website: https://www.mouser.com/ They're in the EU and they sell Adafruit products.

    Actually, that link you shared says "Equivalent: Neopixels" so it's probably a good option for you, but I can't tell you for sure.

    Hello again. After buying your raygun blueprints and video, I'm having a hard time finding the neopixel in my country. It could be done with another type of rgb LED or they have to be ADAFRUIT. Thank you

    Technically, yes. You should be able to get all the same functionality from an Arduino board. That being said, I don't think there are many Arduino boards, if any, with audio playback functionality and 2MB of storage. If such a board exists and is less than $20 USD, please let me know!
