## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA3630:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA3630:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)

## Description

Attaching NeoPixel strips to your costume can be a struggle as the flexible PCBs can crack when bent too much. So how to add little dots of color? Use these stranded NeoPixel dots! They're very small, so they're easy to embed into any structure, costume, or wearable. Each dot is enclosed in a small plastic weatherproof button, Adafruit don't recommend dunking these underwater but they can survive temporary outdoor usage. Best of all the buttons have little plastic hooks molded into the back so they can be tack-sewn in place.

Each strand has **20 dots with a single NeoPixel inside** with cabling connecting them. The dots are 2" apart, [We also have a version that is 4" apart.](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-neopixel-led-strand-20-led-4-pitch.html)

NeoPixels are 5050-sized LEDs with an embedded microcontroller **inside the LED**. You can set the brightness of each R/G/B/W. Each LED acts like a shift register, reading incoming data on the input pins, and then shifting the previous data out on the output pin. By sending a long string of data, you can control an infinite number of LEDs, just tack on more or disconnect unwanted LEDs at the end. The PWM is built into each LED-chip so once you set the brightness you can stop talking to the strip and it will continue to PWM all the LEDs for you.

These NeoPixel strands have 20 digitally-addressable pixel LEDs per meter. [**Adafruit have a tutorial showing wiring, power usage calculations, example code for usage, etc. Please check it out!**](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-dotstar-leds)
