Adafruit NeoPixel Mini PCB - Pack of 5

by Adafruit

These are the smallest NeoPixel breakouts around! Tiny, bright RGB pixels to add to your project.

  • These little PCBs are only 8mm x 10mm and have two sets of three pads on the back for soldering wires.
  • These ultra-bright LEDs have a constant-current driver cooked right into the LED package!
  • The pixels are chainable - so you only need 1 pin/wire to control as many LEDs as you like. 
  • 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 its OK if your battery power changes or fluctuates a little. 


Each pixel draws as much as 60mA (all three RGB LEDs on for full brightness white). An Arduino can drive up to 500 pixels at 30 FPS (it will run out of RAM after that). Using ribbon cable you can string these up to 6" apart (after that, you might get power droops and data corruption)

Each order comes with 5 individually controllable pixel buttons.

Adafruits detailed NeoPixel Uberguide has everything you need to use NeoPixels in any shape and size. Including ready-to-go library & example code for the Arduino UNO/Duemilanove/Diecimila, Flora/Micro/Leonardo, Trinket/Gemma, Arduino Due & Arduino Mega/ADK (all versions)

Good little camera, easy to put together and the photo quality is surprisingly good. The server occasionally crashes and we're not sure why, and it does get a bit hot even with the heatsink (placed inside in a cold bit of the house) which might be causing that, but overall a quick restart tends to fix that and I'd say it's worth the price. We're using it to track cats and had to turn the motion sensitivity up for that, but that's a simple button in the web portal.

Camera would only work for a few minutes before locking up. Eventually was referred to a configuration tweak which made it more reliable (turns out that some of the components supplied are incompatible with each other/the default configuration). Also transpires that the heatsink provided is inadequate as the ARM CPU runs very hot.

Came quickly and contained everything as expected. Easy to make and picture quality is better than I expected from a self-assembly product.

Good to be able to build one, just too close isn't working.m might need to move/swap this camera! Would be good to be able to login too

Easy to set up, gave to parents so they can see the birds and squirrels that visit their garden. It displays a live feed and stores images and Video triggered by movement to the supplied SD card. These can be managed on any other device on local network which is handy. Can be accessed out side home network too with some extra changes to code.

First time working with any raspberry pi, got it up and running easy, great kit, looking forward to some interesting wildlife pics.

I bought this to keep my retired Dad occupied into the New Year. He previously loved the Pirate Radio pack, so I know he'll equally enjoy assembling this to monitor the birds visiting his garden.

Bought it for my nieces to construct & use (with help from their dad!), as it was so reasonable I also bought one for myself! The contents of the kits was not as listed on the packaging, but in a good way, as they included a 32GB micro-SD card (rather than 16GB as stated) & a heatsink (which wasn't mentioned!
