If you want to drive the entire strip and have some other libraries included, use a Mega.What is better than smart RGB LEDs? Smart RGB+White LEDs! These NeoPixels now have 4 LEDs in them (red, green, blue and white) for excellent lighting effects.Р’В These LED strips are fun and glowy, and you can control each LED individually! Third, just because you have all those pixels doesn't mean you have the RAM for it - the entire strip must be buffered in memory, and we've found many Arduino UNO projects only have about 1500 bytes of RAM available after all the extras are included - enough for about 500 LED pixels.For those processors, check our 32 LED/meter digital LED strip which has SPI-like input/output and works well with Pi, NETduino, and other processors.

We have example code for using with the Arduino Uno/Mega microcontroller at 8MHz and 16MHz, but it will not work with the Raspberry Pi, Basic Stamp, NETduino, any other interpreted/virtual machine microprocessor or any processor slower than 8 MHz. The protocol used is very very timing-specific and can only be controlled by microcontrollers with highly repeatable 100nS timing precision.

Second, to get high density, the controller chip is inside the LED, which is kind of cool, but also means that the chip only uses a single pin for input and a single pin for output.

A good power supply such as our 5V 10A supply is key!

The max rating is assuming all the LEDs are on full white, usually the actual current for colorful design is about 1/3 to 1/2 the max current.

First up, the higher density means much higher power usage over a certain distance - 18 Watts max (~3.5 Amps 5V) per meter instead of 9.6 Watts max (~2 Amps 5V).

This is the strip with white flex PCB, its identical to the black 60 LED/meter except it has a different color mask on the flex stripР”Р„ll your dreams answered, yet there are a few things to watch for. You wanted less noticable strip color - this strip has white-colored flex PCB, which will be less visible against white-painted walls. You wanted thinner strips? Now only 12.5 mm wide, 10 mm if you remove the strip from the casing. 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) For the power wire, you will also probably want a 2.1mm DC jack to wire in so you can connect one of our wall adapters to power it.Р”Р„dafruit's detailed NeoPixel Uberguide has everything you need to use NeoPixels in any shape and size. You'll want one of each, one wire is for ground the other is for signal. To wire up these strips we suggest picking up some JST SM plug and receptacle cables. If you buy less than 4m, you'll get a single strip, but it will be a cut piece from a reel which may or may not have a connector on it. These strips are sold by the meter! If you buy 4 meters at a time, you'll get full reels with two connectors. They come in 4 meter reels with a 2 or 3-pin JST SM connector on each end and separated power/ground wires.

Of course, you can also connect strips together to make them longer, just watch how much current you need! We have a 5V/2A supply that should be able to drive 1 meter (depending on use) and a 5V/10A supply that can drive up to 4 meters (depending on use) You must use a 5V DC power supply to power these strips, do not use higher than 6V or you can destroy the entire strip Solder to the 0.1' copper pads and you're good to go. You can cut this stuff pretty easily with wire cutters, there are cut-lines every 0.65'/1.7cm (1 LED each).

The strip is made of flexible PCB material, and comes with a weatherproof sheathing. The PWM is built into each LED-chip so once you set the color you can stop talking to the strip and it will continue to PWM all the LEDs for you Only 1 digital output pin are required to send data down. The LEDs are controlled by shift-registers that are chained up down the strip so you can shorten or lengthen the strip. You can set the color of each LED's red, green and blue component with 8-bit PWM precision (so 24-bit color per pixel). There are 60 RGB LEDs per meter, and you can control each LED individually! Yes, that's right, this is the digitally-addressable type of LED strip. These LED strips are even more fun and glowy.
