Module 2A (Lighting Neopixel)

This document provides an introduction to lighting Neopixels. It discusses RGB LEDs and how they can produce over 16 million colors. It explains how Neopixels work, which are individually addressable LEDs or RGB LEDs strung together and controlled from a single pin. The document reviews how to connect a Mio Jr. microcontroller to a computer and use the MakeCode editor to program Neopixels, including blocks for setup, color selection, and delays. It includes an exercise to light up colors on the Mio Jr. and an activity to display a rainbow pattern.

module 2A:

Lighting Neopixel

In this module, students will learn:


 What are RGB LEDs
 What are Neopixels
 How to program Neopixels
What is a RGB LED?
• RGB LED is a LED that has 3 color LED
inside it (Red, Green, Blue). It can
produce over 16 million hues of light.

How LED works
• The LED lights up if we connect power to the
positive part and ground to the negative part.
The charges in the positive and negative part
will combined to create a photon (light
power).

How rgb LED works
• The RGB LED works the same as LEDs, but the
unique in RGB LED is you can set the power to the
respective color. If we put 0 power to red and blue
and we put 5V to green then we get green color.

What is neopixel
• These are individually LEDs or RGB LEDs all
housed on a string that can be controlled from a
single pin or a single power.
