## Description

Drive massive NeoPixel installations without blocking your code. The NeoPXL8 FeatherWing enables 8 concurrent DMA NeoPixel strands from a single Feather M0, with up to 250 pixels per strand (2,000 total) — all running in the background via hardware DMA so your code keeps executing. The wing handles 3.3 V to 5 V level shifting with an onboard switch-cap converter and includes 100 Ω series resistors on each output to reduce ringing on long wiring runs. Also available for the Feather M4, or see the standalone NeoPXL8 Friend level shifter board. Key Features 8 DMA NeoPixel Outputs – Drive 8 independent strands simultaneously via hardware DMA on the ATSAMD21's TCC0 timer Up to 2,000 Pixels – 250 pixels per strand (theoretical max 340, but uses all available RAM) Built-In Level Shifting – 3.3 V to 5 V conversion with onboard switch-cap converter 100 Ω Series Resistors – Reduces signal ringing on long wiring runs Non-Blocking – DMA handles all pixel data output, freeing your code to run simultaneously Connection Options Choose your preferred wiring method (solder in the connectors you need): 2×8 Header – Ground and 5 V-logic signal pairs for each strand 2× RJ-45 Jacks – Ethernet-style connectors with ground and signal per twisted pair (OctoWS2811-compatible pinout) Pin Mapping Output #0: A3 (fixed) Output #1: A4 (fixed) Output #2: Digital #10 or Serial TX (selectable) Output #3: Digital #12 or Serial RX (selectable) Output #4: SPI MOSI or I2C SDA (selectable) Output #5: Digital #5 or SPI SCK (selectable) Output #6: Digital #11 or SPI MISO (selectable) Output #7: Digital #13 (fixed) Tip: If you can't spare both pin options for a given output, you can disable that strand in the library and run with 7 strands. Power NeoPixel power is not routed through the FeatherWing — the PCB copper would be too limiting for the currents involved. Provide 5 V power directly to your NeoPixel strips using terminal blocks or bus bars connected to a dedicated 5 V supply.
