A Feather board without ambition is a Feather board without FeatherWings! This is
theNeoPixel FeatherWing, a4x8 RGB LED Add-on For All Feather Boards!Using
ourFeather Stacking HeadersorFeather Female Headersyou can connect a
FeatherWing on top or bottom of your Feather board and make your Feather board
strut like a peacock at a rave.
Put on your sunglasses before staring into these 32 configurable eye-blistering
RGB LEDs. Arranged in a 4x8 matrix, each pixel is individually addressable. Only
one pin is required to control all the LEDs. On the bottom we have jumpers for the
DIN line to any of the I/O pins on a Feather. You can cut the default jumper trace
and use any pin you like.
To make it easy to start, the LEDs are by default powered from
either
the USB
power line or Battery power line, whichever is higher. Two Schottky diodes are used
to switch between the two. This power arrangement is able to handle 1 Amp of
constant current draw and maybe 2A peak, so not a good way to make a flashlight.
It's better for colorful effects.
