APA102 is orginal Taiwan chip, super expensive....if you buy it from China, it is APA102C, but it has already stopped producing, as Taiwan supplier didn't provide IC any more, now the best choice is APA107/SK9822

Great post.

The APA102 is a great choice.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I agree good call to shift sideways with the hardware, rather than fight it.

Hey Carmelito it's coming together nicely. Theoretically you could use the MCU to talk to NeoPixels but I'd not want to be the one who ports the code. Good call on the APA102 chip!
