Description
Product information "Adafruit Mini Skinny NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip - 30 LED/m, white, 5m roll"
There are a few things to watch out for:
- These LEDs consume a maximum of about 9.5 watts (~2 amps at 5V) per metre. The maximum rated power assumes that all LEDs are completely white. Normally the actual current for coloured designs is about 1/3 to 1/2 of the maximum current. A good power supply is crucial!
- Secondly, to achieve high density, the controller chip is inside the LED, which is kind of cool, but also means that the chip only uses a single pin for input and a single pin for output. The protocol used is very very timing specific and can only be controlled by microcontrollers with a highly repeatable timing accuracy of 100nS. We have example code for use with the Arduino Uno/Mega microcontroller at 8MHz and 16MHz, and with a little effort you can use it with the Raspberry Pi, or Beagle Bone Black, but it will not work with the Basic Stamp, NETduino, any other interpreted/virtual machine microprocessor or any processor slower than 8MHz.
- Due to the way the pixels are controlled by an Arduino, the entire strip needs to be buffered in memory, and we have found that many Arduino UNO projects only have about 1500 bytes of RAM available after all the extras have been built in - enough for about 500 LED pixels. If you want to control the whole strip and include some other libraries, you may need a Mega.
The strip is made of flexible PCB material and comes with a weatherproof sheath. You can cut it stuff pretty easily with a wire cutter, there are cut lines every 32.5mm (1 LED each). Solder to the 0.1" copper pads and you're ready to go. Of course, you can also connect the strips together to make them longer. Just make sure you know how much power you need! You must use a 5V DC power supply to power these strips, do not use more than 6V or you may destroy the entire strip!
Our detailed NeoPixel Uberguide contains everything you need to use NeoPixels of any shape and size. Includes ready-to-use library & sample code for the Arduino UNO/Duemilanove/Diecimila, Flora/Micro/Leonardo, Trinket/Gemma, Arduino Due & Arduino Mega/ADK (all versions)

Adafruit: The expert for open source hardware
For more than ten years, programmers and tinkerers have benefited from the expertise of the Adafruit brand. Whether for beginners or proven experts, Adafruit has the right hardware components ready for your next IoT project.
Light comes into the dark with Adafruit NeoPixel
One extremely popular product line from the company's broad portfolio is Adafruit NeoPixel. These nifty LED components come in a wide variety of designs and color temperatures. NeoPixel modules are available, for example, in the form of a practical stick with five intelligent LEDs in red, green and blue (RGB) or in white (W), as a shield with 40 eye-saving RGBW LEDs in which all pixels are individually addressable, and as a jewel with seven RGBW LEDs that can be controlled with 8-bit PWM per channel.
Especially popular is the Adafruit NeoPixel Ring with 16 ultra-bright, intelligent RGB LEDs including integrated drivers, which you only need a single microcontroller to control. The trick is that the Adafruit NeoPixel rings form a chain, so to speak: You couple the output pin of one with the input pin of the other.
With the Adafruit NeoPixel products you can realize a wide variety of projects - there are virtually no limits to your creativity. With the help of an Arduino, a jumper cable and the appropriate software, you can control a NeoPixel ring individually and light up the small LEDs as you wish - either individually or in a specific combination. This way, you can also create your own Vu meter with the versatile LED components. Practical: To make programming Adafruit NeoPixel easier, Adafruit provides an Arduino library as well as a Python library.
Adafruit Feather Boards: Powerful hardware in a compact format
With Adafruit Feather, the hardware specialist from the States also has various powerful development boards in its range, which are essentially equivalent to an Arduino in terms of function. All of these boards are equipped with similar features; among other things, the pin assignment is the same and there are also many parallels when it comes to the microcontrollers and the battery charging properties. In addition, you can also find Feather boards with special devices like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and cellular network connectivity as well as boards with microSD slot in Adafruit's product range. The name "Feather" is no coincidence: The boards are also characterized by being particularly compact and, above all, lightweight.
The range of top-class product highlights is wide: The STM32F405 Feather, for example, is the fastest CircuitPython board from Adafruit with an outstanding 168 MHz and meets the highest demands. It is equipped with a STEMMA QT / Qwiic port at the end, which makes it easy to connect to I2C sensors. The Adafruit Feather nRF52840 Express, on the other hand, shines with Bluetooth Low Energy and can also be used with CircuitPython thanks to native USB support.
Another important part of Adafruit's portfolio are the FeatherWings. With these expansion modules, you can also include components such as a display or a motor driver in your IoT project. The FeatherWing Proto is a proven classic in Adafruit's portfolio. This is ideally suited as a prototyping add-on for all Feather boards. The Adafruit FeatherWing Wing Tripler Mini Kit, on the other hand, is ideal if you want to connect a Feather to two other FeatherWings at the same time.
With the Adafruit MIDI FeatherWing Kit you get a music capable FeatherWing, thanks to which you can equip your Feather with MIDI input and output jacks. And with the Adafruit FeatherWing OLED you can easily add a small OLED display to your Feather board - no soldering required.
Adafruit: What's behind the brand
As an expert in open-source hardware, Adafruit has long since established itself in the electronics industry. The company was founded in 2005 by Limor Fried. At the time, the talented and innovative electrical engineer was still a student at the renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). To this day, Fried is CEO of the electronics giant, which is now headquartered in New York. The company's name also goes back to its founder: Fried was once known on the World Wide Web by the nickname "Ladyada" - a tribute to the famous IT pioneer Ada Lovelace.
Adafruit says it is committed to getting more people excited about technology and science - and thanks to its first-class products, the hardware expert from the USA is sure to succeed!

Safety instructions
- Avoid direct contact with power lines during operation.
- Ensure that the operating voltage corresponds to the specifications of the strip to avoid overheating or damage.
- Never connect the components with the wrong polarity (e.g. swapping +5V, GND or data lines).
- Operation outside the specified voltage or with the wrong controller can cause damage.
- Avoid short circuits, especially due to exposed solder joints or uninsulated cables.
- Use a suitable cooling option for long strips to prevent heat build-up.
- Keep the strip away from water or damp environments, unless the protection class of the product permits this.
- Dispose of the Stripe in accordance with the local regulations for electronic components (WEEE Directive).
- Do not dispose of in normal household waste as it contains electronic components.
- If the product is defective or damaged, recycle it properly and do not tamper with or repair it without specialist knowledge.
