Cut NeoPixel Strip
Cut a section of the strip with 31 NeoPixel LEDs using flush diagonal cutters.
Remove the stock cable from the pads of the first NeoPixel LED.
Remove the silicone sheathing from the NeoPixel strip section.
NeoPixel Strips are directional! Make sure wires are soldered to the INPUT and not the OUTPUT.
NeoPixel Cable
The 3-pin STEMMA JST cable is used to connect the NeoPixel strip to the Feather.
Use the silicone cover ribbon cable to extend the length of wire so the cable is 10in(254mm) long.
Connect Cable to NeoPixel
Solder the three wires from the STEMMA JST cable to the pads on the first NeoPixel LED.
Red wire to 5V pad, black wire to GND pad and white wire to the DATA IN pad.
Wired NeoPixel Strip
Double check the wires are properly soldered to the pads on the first NeoPixel LED.
NeoPixel Cable for Feather
The 3-pin JST socket cable will be soldered to the Feather.
Cut the three wires from the cable so they're about 2in (50mm) in length.
RFID Cable for Feather
The stock 2-pin cable is included with the RFID Wiz Kit.
Cut the two wires so they're about 2in (50mm) in length.
Speaker Wire Extension
The speaker wire will need to be extended in order to reach the amplifier.
Use the silicone ribbon cable to increase the length of wire so they're about 10in (254mm) in length.
Use pieces of heat shrink tubing to insulate the exposed wire.
Wires for Amplifier
Use the silicone ribbon cable to create a 5-pin short cable.
Measure the length of wire to about 2in(50mm) long.
Solder the wires to the pins on the amplifier.
Connect NeoPixel Cable to Feather
Solder the red wire to the USB pin on Feather. Solder the black wire to a ground pin on the Feather. Solder the white wire to D6 (GP08) pin.
Connect Amplifier to Feather
Make the following connections to the Feather.
- LRC to 25 pin on Feather
- BCLK to 24 pin on Feather
- DIN to A3 pin on Feather
- VIN to 3V pin on Feather
- GND to GND pin on Feather
Connect RFID cable to Feather
Solder the red wire to pin A1 on Feather. Solder the black wire to the ground pin on Feather.
