We've chosen to set brightness=0.3, or 30%.īy default, auto_write=True, meaning any changes you make to your pixels will be sent automatically. In this example, we're using a strip of 8. To provide the number of pixels, assign the variable num_pixels to the number of pixels you'd like to use. To set the pin, assign the variable pixel_pin to the pin you'd like to use, in our case board.A1. You can optionally set brightness and auto_write. You are required to set the pin you're using to drive your NeoPixels and provide the number of pixels you intend to use. The NeoPixel object has two required arguments and two optional arguments. The first thing we'll do is create the LED object. # SPDX-FileCopyrightText: 2018 Kattni Rembor for Adafruit Industries Rainbow_cycle(0) # Increase the number to slow down the rainbow # Increase or decrease to change the speed of the solid color change.Ĭolor_chase(RED, 0.1) # Increase the number to slow down the color chase Pixels = neopixel.NeoPixel(pixel_pin, num_pixels, brightness=0.3, auto_write=False) """CircuitPython Essentials NeoPixel example""" If the power to the NeoPixels is greater than 5.5V you may have some difficulty driving some strips, in which case you may need to lower the voltage to 4.5-5V or use a level shifter.Ĭopy Code # SPDX-FileCopyrightText: 2018 Kattni Rembor for Adafruit Industries On Metro M0 Express and Metro M4 Express, use the 5V pin regardless of whether it's powered via USB or the DC jack.On Trinket M0, Feather M0 Express, Feather M4 Express, ItsyBitsy M0 Express and ItsyBitsy M4 Express the USB or BAT pins will give you direct power from the USB port or battery.On Gemma M0 and Circuit Playground Express this is the Vout pad - that pad has direct power from USB or the battery, depending on which is higher voltage.If you want really bright lights and a lot of pixels, we recommend powering direct from an external power source. Plugging into the DATA OUT or DOUT side is a common mistake! The connections are labeled and some formats have arrows to indicate the direction the data must flow.įor powering the pixels from the board, the 3.3V regulator output can handle about 500mA peak which is about 50 pixels with 'average' use. Verify your connection is on the DATA INPUT or DIN side.
You'll need to solder up your NeoPixels first. CircuitPython or Arduino IDE on this tiny little microcontroller board
