To power neopixels externally, you can run the power directly to the pixels, but you need to have a common ground for the signal.
  • First connect the ground wire from your external supply to the Neopixels.
    Run a ground wire from the Flora to the ground on the Neopixels.
    Connect your 5v external supply directly to the Neopixels.
    Then connect the signal wire from the Flora to the Neopixels.
