What’s a Neopixel?

A Neopixel (also known as WS2812) is an daisy-chainable LED where the entire chain of LEDs can be controlled using one digital signal. Each LED in the given an index (just like in an array), and you can set the color and brightness of each LED individually.

So, what are you waiting for? Let’s get started!

Getting Started

Requirements

• Your board must be within the dimensions of 100 mm x 100mm
• You must use one of the 2 microcontrollers options we provide
• Since this is part of the onboard program, you must meet the onboard requirements as well
