Notify me when its in stockFlora RGB Smart NeoPixel Version 2 - 4-Pack, designed specifically for wearable devices, these updated Flora NeoPixels have a really cool feature: these ultra-bright LEDs have a constant current driver embedded directly into the LED package! The pixels are chainable, so you only need 1 pin or cable to control as many LEDs as you like. They're easy to sew, and the chainable design means no crossed threads.
These are the second version of Flora NeoPixels, which run at 'high speed' 800KHz. Unfortunately, they are not back-compatible with the 'low speed' (400KHz) Flora NeoPixels, so if you have a project already using the slower ones and you want to add more pixels, you will need to purchase the version 1 ones.
These pixels have full 24-bit color ability with PWM taken care of by the controller chip. Since the LED is so bright, you need less current/power to get the effects you want. The driver is constant current, so it's OK if your battery power drifts around or if the power goes up and down a little bit.
Each pixel draws as much as 60mA (all three RGB LEDs on for full brightness white). Theoretically, Flora can drive up to 500 pixels at 30 FPS (it will run out of RAM after that). But after about 10 pixels (or if the distance between pixels is more than an inch or two), the resistance of the thread can affect the power supply. For large quantities of pixels over 10, you may want to consider adding a 'power bus' to feed the pixels - each pixel will draw as much as 60mA current!
Each order comes with four individually controllable pixels.
You can order the Flora RGB Smart NeoPixel Version 2 - 4-Pack from the Adafruit category at SAMM Market at an affordable price, with same-day shipping and fast delivery advantages.
