Flora: Smart Neopixel vs Diffused Flat Digital RGB Pixels

Post by alandrak »

Hi,
I've been reading the Stego Hoodie tutorial (https://learn.adafruit.com/led-stego-flex-spike-hoodie/), and I've been wondering if you could use the Smart Neopixels (the small sewable ones) instead of the RGB strip? Or would the neopixels sewn together with conductive thread have too much resistance at the end "spike" to light up?
What about the programming? Do they work differently with Flora or do you need to change the program as well?
Complete novice at this, thanks in advance for the help!

Those should work. If you are worried about conductivity, you could wire them with our silicone coated stranded wire: https://www.adafruit.com/products/1970
You should be able to use the same programming for the Flora.
