NeoPixel Mini Button PCB - Pack of 50

These are the tiniest NeoPixel breakouts available! Add these super - bright RGB pixels to your project. These small PCBs measure just 9.1mm x 9.1mm and feature two sets of three pads on the back for soldering wires. The ultra - bright LEDs come with a built - in constant - current driver. The pixels can be chained, allowing you to control as many LEDs as you want with just 1 pin/wire. They offer full 24 - bit color capabilities, with the controller chip handling PWM. Since the LEDs are extremely bright, you need less current and power to achieve the desired effects. The constant - current driver ensures stable performance even if your battery power fluctuates. Each pixel can draw up to 60mA when all three RGB LEDs are at full - brightness white. An Arduino can drive up to 500 pixels at 30 FPS. You can use ribbon cable to space these pixels up to 6' apart. Each order includes 50 individually controllable pixel buttons. We also have a 5 - pack option if you don't need 50. Our detailed NeoPixel Uberguide provides all the information you need to use NeoPixels of any size, including ready - to - go library and example code for various Arduino models.

Using these Mini NeoPixel Button PCBs is easy. First, solder wires to the two sets of three pads on the back of each PCB. Then, chain them together as you need. You can control them with just one pin on your Arduino. Keep in mind that an Arduino can drive up to 500 pixels at 30 FPS. If you want to space them out, use ribbon cable, but don't go beyond 6' apart to avoid power droops and data corruption. Each pixel can draw up to 60mA at full brightness, so make sure your power source can handle it. Since they're bright, you don't need much current to get great effects. When your battery power fluctuates a bit, it's okay because of the constant - current driver. For programming, refer to our NeoPixel Uberguide, which has ready - to - go library and example code for different Arduino models. To maintain them, just keep them clean and dry. If you have any issues, check the soldering joints and the power connections.
