## Description

LOLwut? NeoPixels in 5mm through-hole variety? Oh yes, we haz them! If you like NeoPixel strips you'll luv these 5mm diffused through-hole NeoPixels. All the single-pin-controlling-hundreds-of-LEDs goodness in a breadboard friendly format. Each LED looks just like a shorter version of the classic through-hole 5mm RGB LED with 4 legs, but instead of just red/green/blue there's a little chip inside that can control the LED with high speed PWM for 24-bit color. These are the diffused type instead of the Neopixel Clear 5mm LEDs. They look a lot like the 8mm variety but are smaller.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Works perfectly - if you set them up properly
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2020*

I have 10 of these in a chain, driven by a Teensy 3.5. They work perfectly, once I did a bit of fiddling.I use DMA in the Teensy to drive these. They were a bit unstable until I changed the PWM waveform timing to 80% on-time, 20% off-time, for each "1" bit. Even a 70% on-time gave uneven results.I used to think the Neopixels are center-sampling on the input waveform; now I think the sampling runs a bit late.Do provide the drive resistor, and bypass each LED. They're noisy on the power lines...

    Super Bright and runs off 3.3V
  

*by G***Z on Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2021*

I am using these as a status indicator with an ESP8266.  Libraries to drive them are readily available on GitHub.  Unlike the WS2811, these work on 3.3v and are plenty bright.  It's recommended you place a .1uf capacitor across the power legs and a 470 ohm resistor on the signal lead in series.

### ⭐ 







  
  
    RIDICULOUSLY BRIGHT BUT TERRIBLY INCONSISTENT
  

*by M***O on Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2019*

These are designed to be daisy-chained but so far only 2 parts out of 10 have worked correctly when two devices are linked data-out to data-in.  The others just flash colors randomly and act as though the data has been corrupted once receivedNOT recommended
