We'll use the Feather's onboard STEMMA QT port to connect the LEDs and the Ground wire. The red wire will connect to the USB pin. Do not use the red STEMMA wire to connect to the LED strips -- it's rated at 3.3v and the power coming in from our USB cable is 5v. Instead, connect the red wire to the USB pin on the Feather.

Since we have a lot of lights, it's not a good idea to pull power through the USB port on the Feather -- too much current could damage the board. This setup brings power to the DotStar strips first, then feeds it out to the Feather from there.

• DotStar VCC --> Feather USB
• DotStar CL --> STEMMA Yellow
• DotStar DATA --> STEMMA Blue
• DotStar G --> STEMMA Black

Dotstar strips are connected in a serpentine array, and power and ground are connected at both ends.
