NeoPixel RGBW Neon-like Flex Strip - Cool White 5500K - 1 meter

OverviewPinoutWiringRelated groups
NeoPixel RGBW Neon-like Flex Strip - Cool White 5500K - 1 meter — Adafruit — 4689

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.

Pinout

  • +5V

    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.

    Type · powerVoltage · Typically 5 V DC for NeoPixels; Adafruit also notes 3.7 V LiPo operation is possible for wearable projects.
  • GND / -

    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.

    Type · groundVoltage · 0 V reference
  • DIN / DI / Data

    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.

    Type · signalVoltage · 5 V data is ideal when powered from 5 V; Adafruit recommends a logic-level shifter from 3.3 V controllers unless the pixels are powered near 3.7 V.
  • DOUT / DO

    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.

Displays

Character LCDs, SPI TFTs, e-paper modules and larger capacitive-touch TFT panels solve different display jobs. Treat display class, interface, controller, resolution, touch, refresh behaviour, storage, voltage and mounting as separate swap checks.
