Peep this NeoPixel RGBW Neon-like LED Flex Strip with Silicone Tubing! OK its a bit of a mouthful but check out the beautiful pics! It has a diffused look like neon, but without the need for expensive transformers, glass tubing, inert gasses, or a Las Vegas casino license.
NeoPixel strip positive power input. Adafruit NeoPixel guide says strip extra wires correspond to +5V, ground, or data, and for Arduino-style supplies connect +5V input to the positive terminal.
Ground/negative connection. Adafruit says the strip ground must connect to the supply negative terminal and the controller ground, and ground should be connected before anything else.
Data input at the input end of the NeoPixel strip. Adafruit says some strips label this pad DIN or DI, others show data-direction arrows; data can originate from a microcontroller digital pin.
Optional data output at the end of a NeoPixel chain. Adafruit says DOUT/DO can be left unconnected, or connected to the next strip data input when chaining pixels.
I2S · Typically 5 V DC for NeoPixels; Adafruit also notes 3.7 V LiPo operation is possible for wearable projects. · 0 V reference
Verify supply voltage and logic levels before powering up.
Module pins: +5V, GND / -, DIN / DI / Data, DOUT / DO. Schematik maps them to your board in the app.
