Random LEDs break

[skalpjaeger]

Hello

I have a working LED strip, but every now and then an LED breaks and the signal is no longer transmitted from that point onwards. So I have to cut out the LED and replace it. Unfortunately, this is very annoying because it happens relatively often. I have 500 LEDs and they are controlled by an RP2040 and it is reversed. They are SK6812 LEDs (96 LEDs/m). Do I perhaps need to feed the current into 4 places instead of just 2? I didn't have this problem with my old LEDs (60/m)....

I am very grateful for every kind of help

best regards

Simon
