+5V
Positive supply for the NeoPixel NeoMatrix; Adafruit product page says to provide 5VDC to the +5V pin on the input port.
Type · PowerVoltage · 5V DC; product page notes up to about 3.5A per panel at full bright white and suggests 5V 2A for most use.
GND
Ground/common return; Adafruit says to connect ground and make a common ground between the 5V supply and microcontroller.
Type · GroundVoltage · 0V
DIN
NeoPixel one-wire data input on the input port; Adafruit says to connect DIN to the microcontroller.
Type · SignalVoltage · logic data input
DOUT
NeoPixel data output for chaining; Adafruit says the second panel DIN connects to the first panel DOUT.
