## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA6149:1` (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/ADA6149:1.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.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Adafruit's favorite food when hacking on code or electronics is a hot bowl of noodles - and around NYC these are often called 'noods'! What Adafruit have got here are flexible LED noodles, in different lengths and colors. All are not good for eatin' but they are good for cool lighting effects

These are often seen in 'Edison-like' LED bulbs, shaped into hearts or stars or just wound around to create a fun or warm lighting effect. They're made of dozens of LED diodes that are bonded together on an ultra flexible metal backing, then coated in colorful silicone for protection. As the LEDs are in parallel, if you were to power them directly from 3V they can draw up to 200mA - however, like other LEDs it's not recommended to drive them in 'voltage' mode. Adafruit recommend current limiting with a resistor to let max 50mA through, [so think of them as a If=50mA, Vf=3V LED and calculate the resistor that way.](https://www.digikey.com/en/resources/conversion-calculators/conversion-calculator-led-series-resistor)

Comes one per pack. Add some mini, noodle-y neon bling to your miniature sets, dioramas, dollhouses, mini-verses, what have you!

Unlike Adafruit's classic 'nOOds' these have both contacts at one end.

Simply power up with 3V by connect to both ends - the anode should be the end with a little hole in it. If it doesn't immediately light up, try connecting the other way around, no biggie.
