Adafruit FadeCandy - Dithering USB-Controlled Driver Thermal Printing

Adafruit FadeCandy - Dithering USB-Controlled Driver Thermal PrintingA new collaboration between Adafruit & Micah from Scanlime, the Fadecandy. It is a NeoPixel driver with built in dithering, that can be controlled over USB. Fadecandy is not just hardware! It is a kit of both hardware and software parts that make LED art projects easier to build and better looking so sculptors and makers and multimedia artists can concentrate on beautiful things instead of reinventing the wheel. It's an easy way to get started and an

It requires a microcontroller to drive it

These modems work as a serial (RX/TX) pipe

with a small footprint

running at 3

The black wire on the FTDI cable is GND

And that's all well and good

With a built-in load-sharing battery charger circuit

Connect to your Arduino or other microcontroller using the common four-pin SPI interface (MISO

and Arduino functions like delay() and millis()
