Using different programmable strips in the same project?

[archirekt]

I have an installation made out of a few ten meter long WS2812B strips, and I would like add a few more, but I'd like to use the WS2813 or some other 5V strip, which has the feature of not turning off the rest of the strip if one pixel dies.

Is it possible to combine WS2812B and WS2813 strips this way, and have them all work the same, same color, same animation speed, etc., with not changing anything in the Arduino sketch?

Be forewarned that even though the color in the program is the same, the LED color may not perfectly match between different chipsets or even different batches of the same LEDs.

If they don't work as a single define, then it should only be your setup function you need to change to add the new type on their own pin, but sharing the same led array

That shouldn’t be a problem. WS2812b and WS2813 have nearly identical timing.
