Can I use my Audifruit touch board or circuit playground to program and run individually assignable RGB LED strips?
I just want to make sure before I buy a strip RGB LEDs.
Thank you

Well I was looking at the 30 count strips that audifruit sells. The ones that have individually addressable lights. Adafruit NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip - Black 30 LED - BLACK
I was thinking about this one in particular

Yes, you can do this. You would want to hook them up to one of the external pins. Tony D's arc reactor project is a good example of how to add external NeoPixels to a Circuit Playground. He documented it in a series of live streams:

and here's the code:

Can't say for sure with the TouchBoard. Seems like it should be possible since it has an 32u4 processor and the NeoPixel library works on that.
