Adafruit NeoDriver - I2C to NeoPixel Driver Board - Stemma QT
100 units available with a short lead time.
The Adafruit NeoDriver converts I2C commands into NeoPixel (WS2812/SK6812) timing signals, letting you control addressable LED strips from any board with an I2C bus — even platforms that lack native NeoPixel support. Simply send pixel data over I2C and the on-board ATtiny1616 handles the precision timing on the output side.
With enough RAM to buffer up to 512 pixels, a 5 V charge pump for clean signal output (even from 3.3 V boards), and pre-soldered terminal blocks plus STEMMA QT connectors, it's a no-solder solution for adding NeoPixels to single-board computers and microcontrollers that otherwise can't drive them directly.
Key Features
- I2C to NeoPixel Bridge – Send pixel data over I2C; perfect timing output handled automatically
- ATtiny1616 Seesaw – Buffers up to 512 NeoPixels
- 5 V Charge Pump – Clean 5 V signal output even from 3.3 V boards
- STEMMA QT / Qwiic Connectors – Solderless I2C input
- Pre-Soldered Terminal Blocks – Easy NeoPixel strip connection, no soldering required
- Configurable I2C Address – Default 0x60, adjustable to 0x60–0x67 via solder traces
- Works with CircuitPython & Arduino – Via the Adafruit Seesaw NeoPixel library
Ideal For
- Adding NeoPixels to SBCs without native NeoPixel support (Orange Pi, Rock Pi, etc.)
- Projects using I2C-only microcontrollers
- Quick no-solder NeoPixel prototyping
- Expanding NeoPixel control across multiple I2C addresses
