Adafruit DotStar FeatherWing - 6 x 12 RGB LEDs

A Feather board gains true versatility with the DotStar FeatherWing, featuring a 6x12 RGB LED matrix that lights up any project with vivid colors. Equipped with 72 individually addressable RGB LEDs, arranged in a compact form, this add-on transforms your Feather board into a dynamic visual display.

Manage every LED with ease as only two pins are required for operation. Customize with jumpers for the Data and Clock lines that accommodate user preferences beyond the defaults. Designed for seamless integration, the FeatherWing is compatible with all existing Feather boards.

Automatic power management ensures efficient operation by selecting from USB or Battery power lines, backed by Schottky diodes. The power handling is suitable for maintaining colorful effects while avoiding excessive current draw. The FeatherWing is controlled using Feather's ENABLE pin for power conservation when needed.

This add-on is engineered for brilliant lighting effects but not intended as a high-intensity flashlight. It offers compelling illumination capable of making any project shine spectacularly. Detailed guidelines, including code examples and power evaluations, enhance user experience and are accessible for precise application.
