Post by icicic »

Hi, I want to connect four NeoPixel rings 16 in a circuit. What kind of wires (guage) do you recommend? In general, what guage of wires should I use with Adafruit products?

22 AWG hookup wire is what we use for most things. If the components will be fastened down and not moving around, solid core is fine. If the wires will see repeated flexing, you will want to use stranded wire with some strain-relief at the solder-joints. For applications needing ultra-flexibility, we carry silicone-coated stranded wire in a variety of colors.
