What you need to know! for seasonal decoration

Well I actually got a roll of 300 LEDs for $2.50 "broken" at the junk shop! Brought them home and tested them on my ATTiny86/Digispark. Uses the default "thread test" in the Arduino settings. changed the data pin to 0 and leds 300, blinking, all connected. Nothing -_-. So I thought they were defective. Tried again with 10 LEDs and well, 10 LEDs lit up. So some mistakes, I concluded that 107 leds was the limit and it turned out that the 108th led was the problem as it was stuck RED. So I "cut out" the 108th red LED, the result is the same. I then proceeded to remove the 107th and 109th LEDs, thinking there might be something wrong with one of those two. no Turns out that's the SRAM limit for ATTiny85! Pulled out an Arduino Uno, programmed 297 LEDs (now that I'm missing 3 LEDs) and hooked everything up to my existing 5V, 12A power supply. IT WORKS. ALL HAVE FOUND! So before you leave a bad review, fix the bugs at work. Also note that this strip I received had Revain's "LPN RR" return label. So I figured they were buggy, but why not for $2.50. They weren't defective at all. Now if I can get another 60/m strip, 300 leds at this discount to complete my project then I'll be happy. Hey Revane, do you have these "return slips" in stock?
