For most uses, you'll see about 1-2A of current per panel. Since each LED can draw as much as 60mA (thats up to 3.5 Amps per panel if all LEDs are on bright white!) we suggest our 5V 2A power supply. You'll also need to make a common ground from the 5V power supply to the microcontroller/Arduino. If you're using our NeoPixel Arduino library, use digital #6. Solder wires to the input port and provide 5VDC to the +5V and ground pins, then connect the DIN pin to your microcontroller. Wiring it up is easy: there are two 3-pin connection ports. Only one microcontroller pin is required to control all the LEDs, and you get 24 bit color for each LED. Arranged in an 8x8 matrix, each pixel is individually addressable. Put on your sunglasses before wiring up this LED matrix - 64 eye-blistering RGB LEDs adorn the NeoMatrix for a blast of configurable color.
