8x8 RGBW NeoPixel matrix with a dedicated natural white LED channel per pixel. 64 individually addressable pixels driven by a single data pin; draws up to ~3.5 A at full brightness.
Positive supply for the NeoPixel NeoMatrix; Adafruit product page says to provide 5VDC to the +5V pin on the input port.
Ground/common return; Adafruit says to connect ground and make a common ground between the 5V supply and microcontroller.
NeoPixel one-wire data input on the input port; Adafruit says to connect DIN to the microcontroller.
NeoPixel data output for chaining; Adafruit says the second panel DIN connects to the first panel DOUT.
