We'll be powering the pixels directly through the board since we only have a few pixels in each lamp. For larger projects with more LEDs, you'll want to power the pixels directly from a 5V power supply.
For the Feather:
- USB to +5V
- 13 to DI
- GND to GND
For the QT Py:
- +5V to +5V
- A0 to DI -- This is also know as digital pin 26
- GND to GND
If you're using the QT Py, Adafruit also stocks the QT Py BFF "backpack" with a NeoPixel port. It attaches to the QT Py with headers, and allows you to just plug in your NeoPixel strip. Adafruit carries 0.5m, 60/m NeoPixel strips with the correct Stemma connector already in place, so if these strips work for your project, they can make your life a bit easier.
