Product description: Pixel Trinkey - USB driver for NeoPixel / DotStar - Adafruit 5953
Pixel Trinkey from Adafruit is a miniature, easy-to-use LED controller designed to control NeoPixel ( SK6812 , WS2812 ) and DotStar ( AP102 ). Equipped with an ATSAMD21E18 microcontroller (48 MHz, 256 KB Flash, 32 KB RAM), it offers support for Arduino and CircuitPython. Connected via USB , it includes screw terminals (5 V, Data, Clock, GND) for easy connection of LEDs, as well as an additional JST SH port for expansions such as buttons or sensors. The compact design allows you to control up to 150 LEDs from a USB port or more from an external power supply. Perfect for lighting projects thanks to the built-in RGB indicator.
The manufacturer has prepared a detailed user guide , as well as a description of the Pixel Trinkey pins - check it out!
