I got my first Raspberry Pi in 2012 shortly after they were released and bought some Arduinos when the local Radio Shack was having a blow out sale on them. With this blog I will share some of my plans, tutorials and observations, as well as some interesting, things that I have learned and experimented with these great little boards.

Neo-pixels in Visuino–Tutorial
I just purchased some Neo-Pixel Mini PCBs, they come in a 5 pack and hooking them up and programming is easy. Each Mini PCB has 6 connections, Din, Dout, 2 GND and 2 5V. So first we need to solder them together.
Then I hooked it up to my New Metro board, also from Adafruit.
Next, I open the Demo NeoPixelRepeatDemo.owarduino in Visuino.You can get download information at www.visuino.com
Choose the correct settings for your board and upload it and the Neo-Pixel starts going through random colors. It works! So, I hooked up all 5 and ran some more tests and these little Neos are great.
Thanks very usefull
