Pinout

  • GNDbottom row ground pin

    Bottom-row ground pin, used for power return and NeoPixel data ground reference.

    Type · groundVoltage · 0V
  • VBATtop row, left-most pin

    Feather battery rail input to the FeatherWing NeoPixel power path through a Schottky diode.

    Type · powerVoltage · LiPoly battery rail, typically 3.7V to 4.2V when running from battery, per Adafruit guide.
  • VUSBtop row, third from left

    Feather USB rail input to the FeatherWing NeoPixel power path through a Schottky diode.

    Type · powerVoltage · USB power, about 5V when USB is plugged in, per Adafruit guide.
  • D6 / selectable control pinbottom control-pin jumper row

    Default Feather control/data pin for the 32 NeoPixels. Adafruit states the closed default jumper uses pin #6 on Feather 32u4, 328p, M4, nRF52840 and M0 boards, and #16 on ESP8266 Feather; only one solder jumper should be closed at a time.

Start wiring

Shield

Verify supply voltage and logic levels before powering up.

Module pins: VBAT, VUSB, GND, D6 / selectable control pin, DIN. Schematik maps them to your board in the app.

Add-ons

271 other options

About 270 add-ons across Pi HATs, Arduino shields, and FeatherWings. The same function — motor control, PoE, display — usually ships once per host connector family. Get the host board right first.
