{"title":"NeoPixel LED Heart Pixel Strand - 20 LEDs","handle":"adafruit-neopixel-led-heart-shape-pixel-strand-20-leds","url":"/products/adafruit-neopixel-led-heart-shape-pixel-strand-20-leds","description":"Add animated hearts of colour to costumes, props and wearable projects without trying to sharply bend a flexible LED strip. This strand uses individual heart-shaped NeoPixel pixels connected by cable, making it easier to position each light where you need it.Each of the 20 hearts contains a single RGB NeoPixel. The pixels are individually addressable, with 8 bits per RGB channel, so each heart can be set to any of 16-million colours.NeoPixels are 5050-sized LEDs with an embedded microcontroller inside the LED. Each LED acts like a shift register, reading incoming data on the input pins and shifting the previous data out on the output pin, while the PWM is handled inside each LED chip after brightness is set.The strand has JST 3-pin SM connectors on both ends so multiple strands can be chained together. The red wire is +5V, the middle wire is data, and the black wire is ground; the connector with pins is the input and the connector with holes is the output. Adafruit provides a NeoPixel tutorial covering wiring, power usage calculations and example code.Features:Heart-shaped NeoPixel pixels for costumes, props and wearable lighting.20 hearts in one strand.Single RGB NeoPixel inside each heart.Hearts are 6\" apart.Individually addressable pixels.8 bits per RGB channel.Set colours from any of 16-million colours.Brightness of each R/G/B channel can be set.Built-in PWM in each LED chip.JST 3-pin SM connectors on either end for chaining.Can plug strands together to chain.Can disconnect unwanted LEDs at the end.NeoPixel tutorial available with wiring, power usage calculations and example code.Specifications:LED count: 20 digitally-addressable pixel LEDsPixel shape: heartLED type: RGB NeoPixelLED size: 5050-sized LEDsPixel spacing: 6\" apartColour depth: 8 bits per RGB channelColour capability: 16-million colorsConnector type: JST 3-pin SM connectorsConnector placement: on either endPower wire: red wire is +5VData wire: middle wire is dataGround wire: black wire is groundInput connector: connector with the pinsOutput connector: connector with the holesRevision History: As of November 5, 2024 - this strand has different 'internal' color ordering. It's now BRG not RGB, so you'll need to change your firmware or configuration to account for the pixel configuration.A fun choice for wearable electronics, cosplay, festive decorations and animated light-up gifts. Remember to configure your code for the BRG internal colour ordering on current strands.","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"Addressable LED Strand","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":16254,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-5983","mpn":"ADA5983","price":22.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":33}]}
