Datasheet

Library Usage

Start by including both SoftwareSerial and the Pixie Library

#include "SoftwareSerial.h"

#include "Adafruit_Pixie.h"

Two #define's will determine which pin you're using for controlling the Pixie's and how many

there are

#define NUMPIXELS 3 // Number of Pixies in the strip

#define PIXIEPIN 6 // Pin number for SoftwareSerial output

Pixie's receive data via Serial. You can use hardware serial as well, but our demo is

SoftwareSerial. Create a new SoftSerial device that transmits on the pixie pin

SoftwareSerial pixieSerial(-1, PIXIEPIN);

Then pass in the software or hardware serial device to create the Pixie strip

Adafruit_Pixie strip = Adafruit_Pixie(NUMPIXELS, &pixieSerial);

Start the Pixie object by setting the baud rate, it is 115200 so dont change that number

pixieSerial.begin(115200); // Pixie REQUIRES this baud rate
