RGB LED - What Battery Pack do I need?

Post by LABINNAK »

I recently bought Adafruit NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip - Black 60 LED - BLACK ( https://www.adafruit.com/product/1461 ). I also bought a battery pack that I thought would work based on the description I read.... although when I got it I realized does not fit the LED.

I am wondering... what battery pack works for this LED? (link?)
Does this LED require to have anything more than just a battery pack?

Neopixels require a microcontroller to drive them. This guide shows how to power and connect them up.
