Introduction

Individually addressable LEDs are everywhere. In the quest for a smaller, cheaper, smarter

LED, the latest and hottest technology is the NeoPixel (http://adafru.it/cVZ), AdaFruit's term

for the WS2812. This is an amazing little chip that integrates red, green, and blue LEDs

with a controller chip into a single package.

NeoPixels are inexpensive, bright, easy to use, and you can use them to build projects of

almost any size. They show up in costumes, sculptures, vehicles, and signs. The saturated

colors and frenetic blinking of these lights can be hard to escape at parties and festivals.
