How many individual LED's can a Flora drive? I was thinking of purchasing a 24 LED NeoPixel ring and was wondering if its possible to control via PWM.
I would like to turn on an LED, fade it out, move to the next repeat until a full loop is done, if possible the speed of rotation to be configurable, also the period at which the next LED in the sequence comes on also configurable.
Thank you.

Re: Flora driving LED's
A FLORA can easily handle 24 NeoPixels. However, you can't drive NeoPixels via PWM - they have PWM on-board, and you control them via a communications protocol. A single FLORA can drive hundreds of NeoPixels.

Thank you, that is good news.
So fading in/out 24 LED's independantly from a Flora wouldn't be a problem?
