Addressable NeoPixels

Post by hilljh82 »

I have a question about the two products below.

= DotStar Addressable 5050 RGB LED w/ Integrated Driver - 10 Pack - SK9822

= NeoPixel 5050 RGB LED with Integrated Driver Chip - 10 Pack

One says it addressable and the other does not mention it. But, aren't the NeoPixels the same ones used on the NeoPixel strip (Adafruit NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip - Black 30 LED - BLACK), and therefore individually addressable if added to a custom PCB?

Thanks,

James

Yes, all NeoPixels work the same way though the exact physical form of the LEDs varies: e.g. smaller, side facing, etc.

Conceptually DotStars are the same but work a bit differently.
