Well I have hit another Ws 28** debbie downer .
I can power 100 sk 6812 from the usb on the PC and individually chat with each and without issue .
After connecting up a mere 5 of these through hole Ws 2811 , I have hit the limit .
Adding a 6th produces a white pixel that will not chat .
In summary these Ws pixels are power goblins and produce a buzzkill to being a simple multi beat-track solution .
On another note , this forces my hand at connecting multiple strings of sk 6812 to a single data source and prove or disprove its reliability .
The way these Sk are designed/assembled , makes easy work for them to be through hole as well .
