I found a WS2812B library part and JST-PH 3-pin connectors; for protection I’m using a PCB blade-fuse holder rather than a 20 A PPTC to avoid excessive voltage drop/heating at LED-matrix currents.
I’m blocked because the account has no available ACUs, so I can’t continue tool execution.
Accomplished so far:
Renamed the project to 16x16 WS2812 Matrix and updated its description.
Added the main schematic components: 256× WS2812B LEDs, 260 capacitors including per-pixel decoupling and bulk input caps, screw-terminal power input, JST data in/out connectors, 330 Ω data resistor, and a blade fuse holder for 20 A protection.
Wired the main power-entry path, fuse, bulk capacitors, JST data connectors, and first/last data endpoints.
Remaining work:
Finish wiring all 256 WS2812B VDD/GND pins and the full DOUT→DIN cascade.
Documents are markdown text files which describe project goals, capture details, or even simulation outputs.
