A plug-and-play NeoPixel strip with a JST PH 3-pin connector for instant connection to STEMMA-compatible boards. The strip has 30 individually addressable RGB LEDs on a 1-metre black flex PCB — perfect for Hallowing, PyPortal, BrainCraft HAT, or any board with a 3-pin JST PH NeoPixel socket.
Uses SK6812 LEDs that work at 3–5V logic and power, with no inline resistor needed. The 30 cm colour-coded wires terminate in a JST PH plug for a secure, solder-free connection.
Key Features
- JST PH 3-Pin Connector – Plugs directly into STEMMA-compatible NeoPixel sockets for instant setup
- 30 RGB LEDs – Individually addressable with 24-bit colour on a 1-metre strip
- 3–5V Compatible – SK6812 LEDs work at 3V logic and power, no inline resistor needed
- Colour-Coded Wires – 30 cm leads: red (power), green (signal), black (ground)
- Black Flex PCB – Blends into dark surfaces with high contrast when off
- Weatherproof Sheathing – Protective casing included
- Cuttable – Shorten the strip by cutting with wire cutters
- Single-Pin Control – Only one digital output pin required
Power Requirements
- Voltage – 3–5V DC (do not exceed 6V)
- Max Current – ~1A at full white (4.8W for the full metre)
- Typical Current – Colourful patterns draw well under 1/3 of maximum
- Can often be powered directly from your microcontroller board
Ideal For
- Hallowing, PyPortal, and BrainCraft HAT projects
- Any board with a STEMMA 3-pin JST PH NeoPixel socket
- Quick prototyping without soldering
- Wearables and costumes
Package Contents
- 1× NeoPixel LED Strip – 30 LED/m, 1 metre, black PCB, with JST PH 3-pin connector

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- CircuitPython
- A beginner-friendly version of Python designed to run directly on microcontroller boards. If a product supports CircuitPython, you can often program it by copying code files onto the board rather than setting up a more complex toolchain.
- JST PH
- A small keyed plug-and-socket connector with 2 mm pin spacing, often used for low-power electronics connections. You need the correct JST PH cable, and its current rating limits how much power should be passed through it.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
- NeoPixel
- A type of addressable LED system where colour data is sent along a single digital data line from one LED or controller to the next. Compatibility matters because the timing and signal format must match for the lights or driver board to respond correctly.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
- pH
- A measure of how acidic or alkaline a liquid is, on a scale where 7 is neutral. For a water monitoring kit, pH tells you about water chemistry and whether the included probe matches the range and accuracy your project needs.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, usually referring to an LED that can mix those three colours. It matters because controlling an RGB LED teaches how separate outputs combine to create different colours.
- STEMMA
- A plug-and-cable connection system used on some maker electronics boards to make wiring simpler. If a product uses STEMMA, you need the matching cable or connector type to plug it in without soldering.
