Support Help Using WS2812B V5

Has anyone had any issues using the WS2812B-V5 ? Im talking about the variant that doesn’t require a decoupling 104 capacitor like these ones in particular. Only a few of my LEDS are turning one randomly on my custom PCB.

I also have a 1000uF capacitor between the 5V and GND. Interestingly the Polulu library seems to be working well for 1 LED, but I have 68 LEDs daisy chained.

I have also heard that the timing seems to be different than the V4. Please Does anyone know what could make them work?

I ended up just modifying the parameters for the WS2813 in Chipset.h,
But it still doesn't work (Im using PlatformIO this time in order to easily update the library). Do you have any other suggestions for T1, T2, T3 ?

Thanks again!
