# Adafruit LED Sequins ## Overview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7H5dYH_ghE ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/015/683/medium800/leds_1758White_top_LRG.jpg?1396375320) Sew a little sparkle into your wearable project with an Adafruit LED Sequin. These are the kid-sister to our popular Flora NeoPixel-- they only show a single color and they aren't addressable, but they are our smallest sewable LEDs ever and very easy to use! Before you get started, follow the [Introducing GEMMA guide](http://learn.adafruit.com/introducing-gemma) or [Introducing Gemma M0 guide](../../../../adafruit-gemma-m0/) Info: ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/015/660/medium800/leds_adafruit-led-sequins-03.jpg?1396370717) They come in packs of five with breakaway tabs-- you can separate them one at a time as you build your project. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/015/664/medium800/leds_adafruit-led-sequins-05.jpg?1396370892) Simply connect 3 to 6VDC to the + pin and ground to the - pin, and the LED on the board will light up. In the photo above we've soldered alligator clips to a 2x2032 coincell battery holder (~6V). You could also use a single CR2032 sewable coincell holder-- you do not need a microcontroller to drive these sequins, unless you want them to blink or fade. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/015/669/medium800/leds_adafruit-led-sequins-06.jpg?1396371167) When powered from 3.3V they draw about 5mA so you can put up to 4 or 5 in parallel on a single microcontroller pin. We currently have these sequins in warm white, emerald green, ruby red, and royal blue. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/015/677/medium800/leds_adafruit-led-sequins-hat-12.jpg?1396373921) You can make the LEDs fade and twinkle by using the PWM (a.k.a. analogWrite) functionality of your Gemma or Flora, or just connect directly to a digital I/O pin of a microcontroller to turn on and off (digitalWrite). - [Next Page](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-led-sequins/sewing-with-conductive-thread.md) ## Featured Products ### Adafruit GEMMA M0 - Miniature wearable electronic platform [Adafruit GEMMA M0 - Miniature wearable electronic platform](https://www.adafruit.com/product/3501) The **Adafruit Gemma M0** is a super small microcontroller board, with just enough built-in to create many simple projects.
