Be the belle of the ball with the NeoPixel Jewel! We fit seven of our tiny 5050 (5mm x 5mm) smart RGB LEDs onto a beautiful, round PCB with mounting holes and a chainable design to create what we think is our most elegant (and evening-wear appropriate) NeoPixel board yet.
NeoPixel Jewel power input. Adafruit product page states to power the board with 5VDC; the NeoPixel guide describes +5V as the positive power input.
Ground return for the NeoPixel Jewel power and controller reference. The NeoPixel guide states GND must connect to the supply minus terminal and microcontroller GND.
Single NeoPixel data input from a microcontroller. The product page states there is a single timing-specific data line and the guide identifies DIN/DI as data input.
Data output for chaining to the DIN/DI input of the next NeoPixel Jewel. The product page states LEDs are chainable by connecting output of one Jewel into input of another; the guide says DOUT/DO may be left unconnected at the end of a chain.
