- 40 eye-blistering RGB LEDs adorn the Neo Pixel shield for a blast of configurable color. Arranged in a 5x 8 matrix, each pixel is individually addressable. Only one pin (Digital 6) is required to control all the LEDs. You can cut a trace & use nearly any other pin if you need some customization. To make it easy to start, the LEDs are powered from the 5v onboard Arduino supply. As long as you aren't lighting up all the pixels full power white that should be fine. You can also solder in the included terminal block (pro-tip: put it on the bottom of the board so it doesn't stick up) to attach an external 4-6VDC power supply. There's a polarity protection FET on there in case you wire the power backwards (we would never do that, it was, umm, a friend of ours, yeah that's it!) If, say, you need MORE blinky, you can chain these together. For the second shield, connect the DIN connection to the first shield's DOUT. Also connect a ground pin together & power with 5V. There you go! You can chain as many as you'd like although after 5 or more shields you may run low on RAM if you're using an UNO. We include both stacking headers & plain headers. Use whichever you prefer
- there isn't a lot of space left over for the 'duino pin breakouts so if you want to wire up some other outputs or sensors the stacking headers are good. For a slim sturdy look, solder on the plain headers.

- see the photo above. There is a single data line with a very timing-specific protocol. Since the protocol is very sensitive to timing, it requires a real-time microcontroller such as an AVR, Arduino, PIC, mbed, etc. It cannot be used with a Linux-based microcomputer or interpreted microcontroller such as the netduino or Basic Stamp.

The visible portion of the OLED measures 1.27" diagonal & contains 128x 96 RGB pixels, each one made from red, green & blue OLEDs. Each pixel can be set with 16-bits of resolution for a large range of colours. Because the display uses OLEDs, there is no backlight, & the contrast is very high (black is really black). We picked this display for its excellent colour, this is the nicest mini OLED we could find! This OLED uses the SSD1351 driver chip, which manages the display. You can talk to the driver chip using 4-wire write-only SPI (clock, data, chip select, data/command & an optional reset pin). Included on the fully assembled breakout is the OLED display & a small boost converter (required for providing 12V to the OLED) & a micro SD card holder. This design

Adafruit took the basic layout of a quarter-sized breadboard (basically, a 'tiny' breadboard plus power rails) & turned that into a beautiful PCB. The top side has a white silkscreen, & the same markings you're familiar with, to make transferring components easy. The bottom has the 5-hole pad design that matches a classic breadboard, with 4 power bus lines on the sides, & no mask so you can easily cut traces when necessary. We used 1.2mm diameter drill holes so even parts with big leads will fit. All holes are thru-plated for strength
- these wont peel off with rework. The finish is a gold plate
- you won't get oxidation like with bare copper perf! There are also two mounting holes so you can attach the PCB to your project box.

What you need is an add on prototyping Pi Plate from Adafruit, which can snap onto the Pi PCB (and is removable later if you wish) & gives you all sorts of prototyping goodness to make building on top of the Pi super easy. We added lots of basic but essential goodies. First up, there's a big prototyping area, half of which is 'breadboard' style & half of which is 'perfboard' style so you can wire up DIP chips, sensors, & the like. Along the edges of the proto area, all the GPIO/I2C/SPI & power pins are broken out to 0.1" stips so you can easily connect to them. On the edges of the prototyping area, all of the breakout pins are also connected to labeled 3.5mm screw-terminal blocks. This makes it easy to semi-permanently wire in sensors, LEDs, etc. There's also a 4-block terminal block broken out to 0.1" pads for general non-GPIO wiring. Finally, we had a little space remaining over the metal connectors so we put in an SOIC surface mount chip breakout area, for those chips that dont come in DIP format. Kit

It features a 2.8" display with 320x 240 16-bit colour pixels & a resistive touch overlay. The plate uses the high speed SPI interface on the Pi & can use the mini display as a console, X window port, displaying images or video etc. Best of all it plugs right in on top! Uses the hardware SPI pins (SCK, MOSI, MISO, CE0, CE1) as well as GPIO 25 & 24. All other GPIO are unused. Since we had a tiny bit of space, there's 4 spots for optional slim tactile switches wired to four GPIOs, that you can use if you want to make a basic user interface. For example, you can use one as a power on/off button. See below for the link to get the optional tact switches, they're not included. This version comes as a mini-kit, with a 2x 13 extra-tall female header (to connect the plate to the Pi) & a 2x 13 male header that can be used to connect an IDC cable or cobbler from the side. ...
