Adafruit 1559 FLORA RGB Smart Neo Pixel version 2 – Sheet of 20

Adafruit FLORA Wearable Sensors, Modules and NeoPixels – Adafruit 1559, The Adafruit FLORA Wearable RGB NeoPixels bring extra blinkiness to your next wearable project and what’s better than a few RGB LEDs? The answer is a sheet of 20 NeoPixels. These seemingly simple gadgets have triggered an amazing array of creative projects, from watches and compasses to steampunk goggles and more. Each NeoPixel has solder pads for 5V DC and Gnd, plus data-in and data-out, using just 1 x GPIO pin on your FLORA microcontroller. Simply feed the data-out from one NeoPixel into the data-in of another to control them both from the same microcontroller (MCU).These LEDs are quite power hungry, up to 55mA each, and if you use all 20 on one project you are going to need a separate power supply and good copper wire between them. You can still use the conductive thread for the data connections though.Adafruit have published a driver library to save you the trouble and let you get on with designing eye catching displays. They have a reputation for the quality of their supporting documentation and you will find their Uberguide to NeoPixels and their Best Practices guides invaluable. In particular the Best Practices guide will help you prolong the life of your NeoPixels and avoid common mistakes. Adafruit 1559 FLORA RGB Smart Neo Pixel version 2 – Sheet of 20
