These awesome little helper boards make it easier to wire up your Pebble-style LEDs! Pebble-style LEDs are connected with ribbon cable, and form very flexible strands. "Standard" strands have 3 wires for: 5V, DATA, GND. Specialty strands have a 4th wire with some having a Backup Data line for redundancy, and some having a Data Return line for use cases involving "tentacles" or hanging curtain-like strands. While the pinout of our Pebble Buddies are optimized for Pixelblaze LED controllers and these Pebble-style strands, they can be used with our cable pigtails (or individual wires) to connect to any style of addressable LED strip or PCB shape (matrices, fibonaccis, etc!), or any LED controller. We even offer kits with short lengths of Pebbles and Pixelblazes so you'll have everything you need to start creating!
- The Pick Your Colors listing will allow you to choose any two colors and styles, one for inner struts and one for outer struts.
- The Rainbow listings are special configurations with multiple colors on the outer struts - they can also be used to choose any custom assortment of outer strut colors you'd like!
- The Galaxy listing is broken out just for ease, and to show you how much these epic swifts shine. You can also order Galaxies through the Glider Swift - Pick Your Colors listing.
- Ready-to-Ship Swifts are exactly that - ones we have already built-up and are in stock. We tend to have a few of these available in the fall, when we do in-person shows.
