Also use a larger ground wire so that voltage drop in ground lead remains low. Then be sure to keep your AtTiny ground lead to power supply very short. Would have been good if NeoPixel offered separate ground for the controls circuit. | |

I was already planning on doing the AtTiny85 and NeoPixel strip in parallel with an appropriate capacitor in between. I should clarify a bit more. What I'm worried about is how the current will view the circuit. Will it spend most of the current in the NeoPixels or will it consider the AtTiny the path of least resistance and flood there. It might be a silly question, but I have limited experience with circuits. | |
