Description NeoPixel Stick 8x 5050 RGB LEDs with integrated drivers
This is a NeoPixel stick from Adafruit. It contains 8 RGB (red, green, blue) LED lights. Each LED is individually controllable. This allows you to create excellent lighting effects and LED projects.
Per board are 8 of the small 5050 (5x5mm) smart RGB LEDs. There are 2 mounting holes available to attach the board to your project. Are 8 LEDs not enough? That's no problem you can connect these sticks to each other. You canconnect as many as you want, while only using one microcontroller pin. Each LED is individually addressable because the driver chip is inside the LED. They each have ~18mA constant current control so the color remains very consistent. This even when the voltage varies. There is no need for external choke resistors which makes the design slim. Supply the whole thing with 5VDC (4-7V also works) and you are ready to go.
It uses a single data line with a very timing specific protocol. Since the protocol is timing sensitive you will need a real time microcontroller. Examples include Arduino, AVR, PIC, mbed, Raspberry Pi .It cannot be used with a Linux based microcomputer or interpreted microcontroller such as the NetDuino. Adafruit has a NeoPixel library for Arduino which makes it easy to use. An 8MHz or faster processor is required.Wiringtutorials are available on the Adafruit site .
