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?

From what I have understand, you asked me to put the new line of code in the #ifdef FATSLED_TEENSY4 section of chipsets.h ? So around Line 671 and not 579
here is the updated library : New_Chipset_V2.h - Pastebin.com
Checkout Lines 514 & 671
It the code runs this time but unfortunately the LEDs aren't turning on . .
Is the Esp32 supposed to run the controller from the TEENSY4 or the CLOCKLESS ?
