DESCRIPTION

A Feather board without ambition is a Feather board without FeatherWings! This is

the NeoPixel FeatherWing, a 4x8 RGB LED Add-on For All Feather Boards! Using

our Feather Stacking Headers or Feather Female Headers you 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.
