About the Neo16 PCB

Neo16 is an open source PCB design by penayush-tronics, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 18 × 19 mm, with 35 components from 5 distinct parts.

By type, the board carries 17 capacitors, 16 diodes, 1 connector and 1 resistor.

It belongs with the displays & leds designs in this gallery.

From the project

A 4x4 Neopixel matrix panel which is available in multiple sizes. Panels be chained with each other to extend/expand the matrix.

A 4x4 matrix panel of 16 addressable LEDs, which can be used to display small graphics, animations, or keyboard characters. These addressable LEDs (also refered to as NeoPixels) are RGB and so can take more than one colour. These panels can also be 'daisy-chained' together, so that many panels can be used at once. The biggest feature is how it only needs one data pin from a microcontroller/dev board to start displaying. There are multiple sizes available.
