Neopixel 12 LED Ring

Post by ubergeek66 »

I've found the 24 and 16 LED rings mentioned in the introductory video:
http://www.adafruit.com/category/37_168

I can't find the 12 LED rings in the store. Anyone have a link to them?

thanks

The 12 pixel rings are not available yet. :(

It would be nice to round out the set and have a 12 LED ring that is the same size as a traditional pocket watch. But I realize you can't talk about future products (except maybe as hints).

Especially if the ring is small enough to fit inside a pocket watch shell.
I did some back-of-the-envelope calculations using the 16 and 24 rings as a basis, and I figure the 12 ring might just fit.
And 12 LEDs goes nicely with a clock display (12 LEDs = 12 hours), while 16 LEDs is a bit awkward.

Precisely.

Though I recently noticed this watch where they had 60 tiny leds in the watch face. http://www.ebay.com/itm/171101786376?va ... 1436.l2649.

yeah, I had seen that Hack-A-Day pocket watch. Totally cool, but that's a lot of surface mount soldering to do.
