I was getting dreaded yellow at end of strip at full white, so I looped voltage feed to end of string, and bam, melted roughly the last quarter of the strip. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this wiring? Is this not good with a buck converter? If so, if I break the +5v line in the middle of the strip, would that work?
