[QUOTE="ixdvc, post: 1179592, member: 92134"] I have found out now that the ring kit is not available from resellers (they are not allowed to buy it). Then one ring kit would be about 50 euros plus 20 percent import tax which is way too much in my opinion (i have paid 75 euros for 240 APA102 LEDs :D). The Neopixel ring alone, however, is available locally. If I want to use this one, is this the right way to connect: +5 V from PSU -> VIN of the Photon and +5 V of the ring GND from PSU -> GND of Photon and ring P6 from Photon -> Data In of the ring I want to test it without level shifter for the data line and would add one later if it does not work.
