Mr Implosive bought a set of http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/LED-digital-module-WS2811IC-5050-3LEDS-DC12V-input-waterproof-20pcs-a-string-256-gray-scale/701799_578798417.html these pixels, I wanted to fix my dull candy canes...\
But I only have one p12r that runs other pixels..... on 5 volts .... DUMMY!
Now Impulsively (at the start of the year, during my learning faze) I have also bought 2 12v power supplies that are not used, sooooo
Can I, run the data wire from the 5v p12r, and the power and ground to the 12v power supply, to the 12v led string and have it work correctly?
