Using Adafruit neopixel momentary switch with a Raspberry pi

Post by bonzadog »

10.10.2021

CONNECTIG A MOMENARTY Progammable Colour LED to a Raspberry Pi3 and 4.

https://www.adafruit.com/product/5236#description

ChromaTek 19mm Rugged Momentary Metal Pushbutton with NeoPixel - 19-B-M-F1
PRODUCT ID: 5236

There is a RGB AND/OR Neopixel version of this momentary switch and would like to my RPi.
But there is no technical information how to do this. If I need to use the PWM version then I need a controller for it - I do not want the RPi to genaerate PWM - much prefering external HW and for the Neopixel perhaps also a controller and a voltage level changer.

Can you please assist on this private project.

Many thanks Nigel

The PID 5236 button has a NeoPixel, not a normal RGB LED. See here for info on driving NeoPixels with Raspberry Pi:
