Basically an SMD version of a standard 5mm rgb accent led
^ That is definitely -not- a correct statement. (maybe correct when referencing an SDM rgb led.. which is NOT what a "Neopixel" is)
The whole difference (and point) of Neopixels is that is has the integrated 'chip'.. allowing for the individual addressable features. (nothing like a normal RGB led)
You just add power (so to speak) to an RGB led.. you can NOT just do so with a "Neopixel".. They run at a specific timing to keep the color/fade..etc updated (multiplexing)
how do you do this without a mircocontroller?
