Connection of the LED diode
The NeoPixel LED has four leads with a length of 28 mm. You should combine them according to the dependency:
- Data in - control input to be connected to the microcontroller or the earlier diode in the chain.
- + 5V - supply voltage 5V.
- Ground - the ground of the system.
- Data out - optional output to connect another diode.
Diode outputs.

Set of 5 NeoPixel diodes.
Here are some tips that can save your diode from damage
- Never connect a voltage higher than 5V.
- Connect a capacitor with a capacity of at least 10 uF between the power pins.
- Avoid changing connections while the power is on.
- Use the shortest possible wires on the control line between the diodes and the microcontroller.
- Consider using a 100 Ω to 1000 Ω resistor on the data line between the microcontroller and the diode to reduce noise and avoid accidentally energizing the diode from the processor pin.
