Neopixel ring query

Post by Ela »

Hi,

I ordered the neopixel ring (with 16 pixels). I planned to use them in a wearable garment using the Gemma. I have viewed many projects with the neopixel ring and all of the projects show the ring soldered to the Gemma. I was planning on sewing with conductive thread to connect the neopixel ring to the Gemma. Is this possible?? I was really wanting to avoid soldering as I am working with young students.

Thanks

The holes for connections on the neopixel rings are too small for conductive thread. Soldering is the best option for these.
