Adafruit Neopixel Ring + Arduino Gemma Tutorial

This video explains how to set up the Adafruit neopixel ring with an Arduino (Adafruit Arduino Gemma). It shows how to wire it up, how to install the neopixel library, how to work the neopixel code, and how to upload to the Arduino Gemma.

Thank you so much!! This made a pumpkin and my wife quite happy!!!

[@sheebweeb]

Well delivered tutorial. I'm looking forward to getting started with mine.

[@sheebweeb]

Back again to say that your tutorial is brilliant. Worked a treat

[@tonyb2337]

Great work!

[@2150dalek]

Thank you for the tutorial.. I spent a few hours trying to troubleshoot this, thinking perhaps I had a bad micro usb cable or a faulty Arduino Gemma.
It works, just ignore the'Unknown Board mssg" IDE gives you, and load a program. Important to have libraries, too. My Gemma works great..You helped me out.😍👌

[@The231447LucidDevTeam]

glad to hear that! And good thing you got it working

[@harshacd2547]

Please give a link of code for watch

Is there a tutorial for the Gemma MO running circuitpython for the same thing?

[@jsop2668]

Hi bro, new subscriber here. Cool video. What is the exact reference of the Arduino Gemma? Can I use ADAFR-2470?

[@jamiemcaleenan585]

Would you know how to set it up to change colour between green and orange when a button is pressed? So when it's turned on, it's green. Then when I press a button it turns orange?

[@lucidnightmare927]

Can I use a single RGB led instead of the ring with Gemma?

[@kinesavawebcam5391]

1:24 - I think you mean the 3 volt goes to "PWR" not "PWM" -- probably should add a corrective note!

[@kamerdyner6908]

what kinds of wires are needed?

[@lholliday198]

Hey hey! i'm just getting started with my Arduino Uno powered Neopixel lamp, and i'm having a bit of a problem. the Uno has a 5V pin and a 3.3V pin, which one should be used to provide enough power for the project to work?

[@lholliday198]

+Imma Wake my biggest fear is that the amps would be too much for my board to handle

[@robmattson]

Any chance the Gemma fits inside the center cut out of that 12 Neopixel ring? I'm looking to make a wearable with reduced height.

[@ballisticmayo13]

no, but it does fit in the next size up neopixel ring. the 16 i think.

[@crazymigdet247]

Do you have any suggestions for first time microcontrollers? Im looking for one to program this with and permanently leave it lit, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[@crazymigdet247]

Imma Wake thanks for the reply!

i have the newer Gemma and it wont go into bootloader mode.

[@symlosis3d756]

Have you had problems compiling the adafuit neopixel examples by any chance?? As it won't compile when i try.

[@symlosis3d756]

+Imma Wake I'm trying to compile for an arduino uno but i also have a nano as well so would I need to change anything for that??

[@symlosis3d756]

Hi i found out what i'd done wrong i forgot to change the read file to .h so its now compiled as normal thank you for answering, if i use the attiny85 i will dowload that, thanks again.

[@-._U-w-U_.-]

LEDs are not changing anything after uploading the sketch, any help?

[@The231447LucidDevTeam]

It's probably stuck at initializing the rtc. Double check your rtc connections. Or your LEDs could also be hooked up incorrectly

[@mannramgharia218]

Where is code

[@Uberlaser]

Sodder? Don't you mean SOLDER

[@costynvd]

That's just the American way of saying it... annoying, yes
