12V Support #20

The NCP1117LPST33T3G supports up to 18V input... am I right to assume, that the yawl would work fine with 12V like WS2815?

No it won't work. You need the signal to be 5V, but it will also be 12V. But there will be no signal because the level converter will burn out. The level converter has a maximum voltage of 5V. You need to use a DC-DC converter as shown in the figure below.
