-When chaining multiple DigiLED'​s together, you only need to connect 3 points as a daisy chain using VCC, DO>DI and GND.  For example, LED #1 would need the top 3 pins VCC, DO (out) and GND to connect to DigiLED #2's VCC, DI (in) and GND near the bottom of the board. ​ If you added LED #3 you would need to connect DigiLED #2's top three pins to the lower-mid pins on DigiLED #3 and so-on and so forth. ​ After DigiLED 1, the side pins and 5V, GND, VIN should not be connected. ​+When chaining multiple DigiLED'​s together, you only need to connect 3 points as a daisy chain using VCC, DO>DI and GND.  ​
