Make your own little LED strip arrangement with this stick of NeoPixel LEDs. We crammed 8 of the tiny 5050 (5mm x 5mm) smart RGB LEDs onto a PCB with mounting holes and a chainable design. Use only one microcontroller pin to control as many as you can chain together! Each LED is addressable as the driver chip is inside the LED. Each one has ~18mA constant current drive so the color will be very consistent even if the voltage varies, and no...

These  incredibly small  surface-mount LEDs are an easy way to add a lot of very tiny (but bright!) colorful dots to your project. They are just mind-bogglingly small. As they are pretty darn tiny, they might be a bit difficult to hand solder. SMT techniques with solder paste and hot air will work best here. These Nano ( 2.4mm x 2.7mm ) RGB LEDs are half the size of mini 3535-sized NeoPixels and a quarter of the size of standard...

Make your own smart LEDs with the same chip that is used in our NeoPixel strip and pixels. This tiny SOIC-8 is fairly easy to solder and can drive a single common-anode RGB LED or three single-color LEDs of your choice. (The outputs are NPN transistors so they won't work with common-cathode!) The outputs are each ~18mA constant current so the color will be very consistent even if the voltage varies, and no choke resistors are required making...

Attaching NeoPixel strips to your costume can be a struggle as the flexible PCBs can crack when bent too much. So how to add little dots of color? Use these stranded NeoPixel dots! They're very small, so they're easy to embed into any structure, costume, or wearable. Each dot is enclosed in a small plastic weatherproof button, we don't recommend dunking these underwater but they can survive temporary outdoor usage. Each strand has 20...

These ingenious little clips make it easier than ever to use our analog RGB LED strips - no need to solder! The clips snap onto the ends of the LED strip and hold securely. They're not waterproof but you could cover them in heat-shrink to make them weatherproof. You get one piece of three different types: One is a short "joiner" - it can join two strips together. The second type is a long "joiner" - it can join two strips...

The Adafruit Feather series gives you lots of options for a small, portable, rechargeable microcontroller board. Perfect for fitting into your next prop build! This FeatherWing will unlock the prop-maker inside all of us, with tons of stuff packed in to make sabers & swords, props, toys, cosplay pieces, and more. We looked at hundreds of prop builds, and thought about what would make for a great low-cost (but well-designed) add-on for our...

Extend and expand your Circuit Playground projects with a bolt on TFT Gizmo that lets you add a lovely color display in a sturdy and reliable fashion.

The Pan-Tilt HAT  from Pimoroni lets you mount and control a pan-tilt module right on top of your Raspberry Pi. The HAT and its on-board microcontroller let you independently drive the two servos (pan and tilt), as well as driving up to 24 regular LED (with PWM control) or NeoPixel RGB (or RGBW) LEDs. There's also a handy slot through which you can route the servo, LED, and camera cables. The module pans and tilts through 180...

This LED Ring Light is designed for use with microscopes but we kinda like the design and think it could be a really nice LED element for costuming or lighting effects or... something else? Of course you could also just use it as a great addition to your photo and video projects. It's super illuminating  with cool, soft, light, perfect for photo studio lighting. We've also seen these used as microscope illuminators for intense,...

"HURRY, FRANK, THERE'S TOO MUCH POWER! We'll have to cut the circuit before this reactor goes up in smoke!" This simple but effective product is a solution to all your accidental-tourist-stuck-in-a-nuclear-power-plant-that-just-happens-to-be-right-above-a-now-active-volcano problems! Or just something without an off-switch. Say you have a nice, elaborate setup for your NeoPixel or DotStar LED strips but no easy way to turn them...

What fits in your pocket, is fully Open Source, and can run CircuitPython, MakeCode Arcade or Arduino games you write yourself? That's right, it's the Adafruit PyGamer! We wanted to make an entry-level gaming handheld for DIY gaming, and maybe a little retro-emulation. It's not the fastest and best of everything but it is an all-in-one dev board with a lot of possibilities! The PyGamer is powered by our favorite chip, the...

A new collaboration between Adafruit & Micah from Scanlime, we are excited to introduce Fadecandy, a NeoPixel driver with built in dithering, that can be controlled over USB. Fadecandy is not just hardware! It is a kit of both hardware and software parts that make LED art projects easier to build and better-looking so sculptors and makers and multimedia artists can concentrate on beautiful things instead of reinventing the wheel. It's an...

What's the size of a credit card and can run CircuitPython, MakeCode Arcade or Arduino? That's right, its the Adafruit PyBadge! We wanted to see how much we could cram into a ​3 3⁄8 × ​2 1⁄8 inch rounded rectangle, to make an all-in-one dev board with a lot of possibilities, and this is what we came up with. The PyBadge is a compact board, like we said, it's credit card sized. It's powered by our favorite...

For those of us who are maybe a little tired of rainbows, we now have 'smart LEDs' in monochrome! Make your own smart Cool White LED arrangement with the same integrated LED dr that is used in our new fancy DotStar strips.  Unlit, the color resembles a yellow Starburst. Lit up these are insanely bright (like ow my eye hurts) and can be controlled with 24 bit high-frequency PWM. The phosphor helps diffuse the 3 white dies inside...

Adafruit seesaw is a near-universal converter framework which allows you to add and extend hardware support to any I2C-capable microcontroller or microcomputer. Instead of getting separate I2C GPIO expanders, ADCs, PWM drivers, etc, seesaw can be configured to give a wide range of capabilities. For example, our ATSAMD09 breakout with seesaw gives you 3 x 12-bit ADC inputs3 x 8-bit PWM outputs7 x GPIO with selectable pullup or pulldown1 x...

Make your own smart LED arrangement with the same integrated LED that is used in our new fancy DotStar strips. This tiny 5050 (5mm x 5mm) SMD LED is fairly easy to solder and is the most compact way possible to integrate multiple bright LEDs to a design. If you want to prototype with these, we recommend our 5050-size LED breakout PCBs, solder them on for a breadboard-friendly package They're also a great upgrade for people who have...

For those of us who are maybe a little tired of rainbows, we now have 'smart LEDs' in monochrome!

Lit up these are insanely bright (like ow my eye hurts) and can be controlled with 24 bit high-frequency PWM. The phosphor helps diffuse the 3 white dies inside...

This adapter board connects the Teensy 3.1 to up to thousands of WS2811/WS2812 (a.k.a NeoPixel) and compatible LEDs using the OctoWS2811 Library. It features a 74HCT245 buffer chip and 100 ohm series matching resistors. A CAT6 Ethernet cable is used to connect this board to the LED strips. A CAT6 cable is designed for very high bandwidth, minimal cross-talk between twisted pairs, and 100 ohm impedance, for a very high quality signal. Teensy 3.1...

This is Hallowing..this is Hallowing... Hallowing! Hallowing!  Following up on 2018's most-successful-skull-shaped development board, we UPPED our -skull-shaped development board game, and re-spinned (re-spun?) the HalloWing M0 into the HalloWing M4 with MORE of everything that makes this the spoooookiest dev board. New! For October 2019, we're got limited edition halloween-orange HallowingM4's - Same exact electronics and...

These are the smallest NeoPixel breakouts around! Tiny, bright RGB pixels to your project. These little PCBs are only 9.1mm x 9.1mm 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...
