Neopixel Prototyping Board

thingiverse

This is a prototyping board designed for creating patterns with NeoPixel devices.\nI'm working on a project that involves a full strip of NeoPixels, but I wanted a smaller prototyping kit so I didn't have to deal with an entire strip just to work out some patterns. This board includes mounts for an Arduino Uno, a Adafruit NeoPixel stick, and a mini breadboard to hold a capacitor and provide tie-in points for a secondary power source.\nNOTE: If you're running all pixels at full brightness, you may exceed the power limits of the Arduino board. Be sure to use a secondary power supply if you need one, or if you're unsure about it.\nThere are four designs available:\nOriginal\nOriginal with Mounting Holes\nNo Breadboard\nNo Breadboard with Mounting Holes\nThe "no breadboard" version is useful if you're using a prototyping shield or if you want to link your NeoPixel project to a larger breadboard. Both the original and no breadboard versions have mounting hole options if you want to attach the protoboard to another board or project.\nYou will need 4 M3 bolts and 2 M2 bolts to attach the Arduino and NeoPixel stick, respectively. You can use a tap but the bolts should be able to form their own threads.\nThe mounting hole spacing is 120x65mm for the original version and 80x65mm for the no breadboard version.\nLet me know if you have any questions and if you do end up making this, send me a message! I'd love to see what you create.\n\n \n \n Parts List\nArduino Uno\nMini Breadboard\nAdafruit NeoPixel Stick\n1 1000µF Capacitor\nHookup Wire (Solid)\n4 M3-6 Bolts\n2 M2-6 Bolts
