Adafruit NeoPixel Stick is used to make little LED strip arrangement. The endlessly inventive folk at Adafruit have crammed 8 of the tiny 5050 (5 mm x 5 mm) smart RGB LEDs onto a PCB with mounting holes and a chainable design. Use only one microcontroller pin to control as many as you can chain together. There is a single data line with a very timing-specific protocol. Since the protocol is very sensitive to timing, it requires a real-time microcontroller such as an AVR, Arduino, PIC, mbed, etc. It cannot be used with a Linux-based microcomputer or interpreted microcontroller such as the netduino or Basic Stamp. As it requires hand-tuned assembly it is only for AVR cores but others may have ported this chip driver code so please google around. An 8MHz or faster processor is required.

Adafruit Neopixel Stick for LED Arrangement
$32.99
- Make sure this fits by entering your model number.
- Each LED is addressable as the driver chip is inside the LED
- Each one has 18 mA constant current drive so the colour will be very consistent even if the voltage varies
- No external choke resistors are required making the design slim
- The LEDs are ‘chainable’ by connecting the output of one stick into the input of another
- Power the whole thing with 5VDC (4-7V works) and you’re ready to rock
