Adafruit NeoPixel Shield - 40 RGBW - Warm White

Put on your sunglasses before experiencing the vibrant NeoPixel Shield—40 RGBW LEDs form a dazzling 5x8 matrix, each pixel individually addressable using a single pin (Digital #6). Customize by cutting a trace to use nearly any other pin. This Warm White RGBW version offers unmatched brilliance.

The NeoPixel is split, combining RGB with a white LED and yellow phosphor, resembling an egg yolk when unlit. Light it up for an eye-popping glow, controlled with 8-bit PWM per channel for a 32-bit color spectrum. Perfect for projects requiring vibrant, dynamic lighting. Power the LEDs via the 5V Arduino supply, with external power options available using an included terminal block—solder it to the board's underside for a sleek setup.

Chain multiple shields by connecting the DIN of one to the DOUT of another, ensuring smooth ground and 5V connections. Stacking and plain headers are provided. Choose stacking for additional component space or plain for a compact design. Our NeoPixel Uberguide offers comprehensive guidance, complete with library and code for various Arduino models, ensuring seamless integration into any project.
