Yeah I hear that some people like to keep the bus pullups closer to the host. The other gotcha is that the voltage for the I2C doesn’t have to match the VCC pin and I didn’t want to assume that users would want those coupled together. Perhaps I can add some DNP resistors so users can have a choice of a pull-up on the dev board if they like.

Naturally, just like a making a pull request, I found that my annotations were incorrect for the LEDs (it doesn’t functionally change the schematic) after posting. My intent is to have all odd LEDs on U1 and even on U2 so that when I place them in a circle it’s easy to make usable patterns with one controller at a time as I learn how to use animation engines.

Agreed, I’m more active here but the depth of content is something I miss. I’m optimistic things will improve over time as we attract more and more users.
