Adafruit Particle/Spark NeoPixel Ring Kit - 24 NeoPixels
Add some dazzle to your Particle project with this custom-made NeoPixel ring kit. 24 ultra-bright RGB NeoPixels are arranged in a circle with a 66 mm (2.6″) outer diameter, designed to snap in a Particle Spark Core or Photon directly. Upload the NeoPixel library code and you've got an Internet of Blinky.
A JST connector is included for attaching an external battery, making the project fully portable. Power with 3.5–5.5 V DC — a rechargeable LiPo/LiIon cell or 3×AAA/3×AA battery pack works well. Use pin D6 for NeoPixel data; all other pins remain available with breakouts on either side for additional sensors or devices.
Key Features
- 24 RGB NeoPixels – Individually addressable LEDs in a 66 mm (2.6″) circular arrangement
- Particle Snap-In Design – Socket headers let you plug in a Spark Core or Photon directly
- Constant Current Drive – ~18 mA per LED for consistent colour even with voltage variation
- JST Battery Connector – Included JST cable for portable battery-powered operation
- Wide Voltage Range – 3.5–5.5 V DC input, compatible with LiPo cells and AA/AAA packs
- Pin Breakouts – All remaining Particle pins accessible on both sides of the board
Ideal For
- IoT-connected LED displays and notifications
- Portable wearable light rings
- Particle-based interactive art projects
- WiFi-controlled lighting effects
Package Contents
- 1× NeoPixel Ring PCB with 24 RGB LEDs, assembled and tested
- 2× 12-pin 0.1″ socket headers
- 1× JST cable for battery connection
Note: Particle Spark Core/Photon and battery are not included. Some light soldering is required — solder the socket headers for a pluggable connection, or solder the Particle board directly for a slimmer profile.
