NeoPixel Mini PCB (http://adafru.it/1612) — sold in

packs of 5 — are the smallest ready-to-use NeoPixel

format.

These have no mounting holes or soldering vias…wires

must be soldered directly to pads on the back of the

PCB.

Each is about 10 millimeters (0.3 inches) in diameter.

These are RGB only; there’s no RGBW version.

Discrete NeoPixel Products

For advanced users needing fully customized designs, discrete NeoPixel components are available. You’ll need to

provide your own PCB and (depending on the pixel type) surface-mount soldering skill.

It’s very strongly recommended that each NeoPixel have an accompanying 0.1 μF capacitor between +V and ground.

This prevents communication problems due to brownout of the on-pixel driver logic. It’s occasionally sufficient to have
