Key features
- Designed to drive NeoPixel (WS2812) LEDs on 8 parallel outputs, but also suited to other PIO-based projects
- The RP2040 PIO state machines generate precise waveforms on 8 outputs at once via DMA, without using processor time
- 8 consecutive GPIO (GPIO16 to GPIO23) with 3 V to 5 V level shifter for glitch-free NeoPixel signals; output voltage adjustable to 3 V with a jumper on the bottom
- Level shifter direction reversible with another jumper: the 8 pins become inputs, for example for a logic analyser
- 264 KB RAM: buffers for several thousand NeoPixels, with room for dithering and gamma correction
- Standard Feather pinout with I2C, SPI and UART in the usual locations
- NeoPXL8 library available for Arduino and CircuitPython
- Built-in 200 mA+ LiPo charger with status LED
- Red LED on pin 13, RGB NeoPixel on D4, reset and bootloader buttons (the latter usable as a user button on GPIO7)
- STEMMA QT connector to connect Qwiic, STEMMA QT or Grove I2C devices without soldering
