Add a dazzling 5×5 grid of 25 addressable RGB NeoPixels to any QT Py or Xiao board with this compact BFF (Best Friend Forever) add-on. The tiny SK6805 LEDs (1.5 × 1.5 mm each) pack vivid colour into a minimal footprint, powered directly from the QT Py's USB Type-C connection.

The PCB is designed to mount on the back of your QT Py or Xiao — solder it directly for a permanent build or use pin/socket headers for a removable setup. The NeoPixel data line connects to pin A3 by default, with solder jumpers to select A1 or A2 instead. External power and data solder pads are also available for advanced configurations.
