• Adafruit NeoPixel Uberguide

  This guide includes a walk-through on using the different NeoPixel-based products from Adafruit and links to the Adafruit NeoPixel and NeoMatrix libraries for Arduino.

• Adafruit Shield Compatibility Guide

  This guide lists the Arduino boards that are compatible with each of their Adafruit’s shields.

• Adafruit NeoPixel library

  This Arduino library from Adafruit is as an alternative to our library and should work for controlling our SK6812/WS281x-Based Addressable RGB LEDs.

• Adafruit NeoMatrix library

  This Arduino library from Adafruit makes it easy to control matrices of NeoPixels and should also work with any chain of SK6812/WS281x-Based Addressable RGB LEDs arranged in the correct grid pattern. Note that this library requires the Adafruit NeoPixel and Adafruit GFX libraries.

• Arduino library for addressable RGB LED strips from Pololu

  This library allows you to control an arbitrary number of SK6812/WS281x-Based Addressable RGB LEDs from an Arduino.
