ive lost one… just one segment of lpd8806
i definitely had 240, split into 12 * 10, but i cut wrong and had 1 segment floating around…
does anyone have a spare one they’d like to post?
its the 5v, chip running 2 5050’s!
thanks!
Goddamn! Since I build things for customers I alway order a bit more of everything than I expect to use. And I almost never needed it except in the few cases where I didn´t follow my own policy. That´s Murphy. On the pro side I keep finding treasures in my stock…
sneak in a pair of WS2812’s? runs for the hills
would that even work? i assume not! 
i would normally buy more than i needed, but i got the 5m for a pretty price, and it was only later that i counted 240, thought about a 12 row project with 10 leds per line…
its not even a product i can find on ebay! :: LOL ::
(not in singles anyway!)
Well, you’d have to wire/address them separately from the LPD8806’s
That might not be a bad solution. At least 2801s are readily available to hand.
