This\nmeans you don't have to use processor time to crack the LED data. Simply set\nup the buffer and tell the PIO peripheral it \"does so\" and it will push this\ndata to the 8 outputs without delay while your code can continue reading\nbuttons, play music, CircuitPython can run - whatever you like! The Scorpio\nfeatures clever pinout where all standard spring pins are the same as the GPIO\npins, as well as the standard I2C, SPI and UART lines and there are still\nenough pins left to have 8 consecutive pins for PIO use on GPIO16 to GPIO23.\nTo make NeoPixel use trouble-free, there is a 3V to 5V level slider, so the\noutput logic is 5V. If you want 3V signals, you can adjust the gear lever\nvoltage with a jumper at the bottom. It is also possible to flip the direction\nof the level slider to make the 8 I\/O pins inputs - for example for making a\nlogic analyzer - with a directional bridge selection also on the bottom of the\nPCB. The RP2040 SCORPIO also features a ton of RAM, 264KB, making it trivial\nto buffer a large number of NeoPixels. In fact, there is so much RAM you can\neven move the pixels to for finer brightness control, for better-looking LEDs\nat low brightness or for gamma correction.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n \u003cli\u003ePerfect for LED driving\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eCan produce perfect waveforms, with up to 8 outputs at the same time, all via DMA\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eAll standard spring pins are the same as the GPIO pins\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eThe RP2040 SCORPIO has 264 KB of RAM.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e","published_at":"2026-09-02T11:41:23+10:00","created_at":"2026-09-01T23:22:05+10:00","vendor":"Adafruit","type":"Motor Drivers","tags":["industrial_DE_Aug2026"],"price":19900,"price_min":19900,"price_max":19900,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44374932553908,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"de-B0BYFD36NP","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Adafruit Feather RP2040 SCORPIO 8-Channel NeoPixel Driver with 264KB RAM and Infrared Connection","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":19900,"weight":10,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"4423","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/de-B0BYFD36NP.jpg?v=1788268927","\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/61CluXo-J3L.jpg?v=1788268928","\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/613z6nPHhjL.jpg?v=1788268927","\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/41x505FkUiL.jpg?v=1788268928","\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/41Ytkk7Q6PL.jpg?v=1788268927","\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/617UpCirbSL.jpg?v=1788268927","\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/51KjRtVJApL.jpg?v=1788268928"],"featured_image":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/de-B0BYFD36NP.jpg?v=1788268927","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":33272777572532,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":600,"width":800,"src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/de-B0BYFD36NP.jpg?v=1788268927"},"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":600,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/de-B0BYFD36NP.jpg?v=1788268927","width":800},{"alt":null,"id":33272777605300,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":600,"width":800,"src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/61CluXo-J3L.jpg?v=1788268928"},"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":600,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/61CluXo-J3L.jpg?v=1788268928","width":800},{"alt":null,"id":33272777638068,"position":3,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":600,"width":800,"src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/613z6nPHhjL.jpg?v=1788268927"},"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":600,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/613z6nPHhjL.jpg?v=1788268927","width":800},{"alt":null,"id":33272777670836,"position":4,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":600,"width":800,"src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/41x505FkUiL.jpg?v=1788268928"},"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":600,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/41x505FkUiL.jpg?v=1788268928","width":800},{"alt":null,"id":33272777703604,"position":5,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":600,"width":800,"src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/41Ytkk7Q6PL.jpg?v=1788268927"},"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":600,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/41Ytkk7Q6PL.jpg?v=1788268927","width":800},{"alt":null,"id":33272777736372,"position":6,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":600,"width":800,"src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/617UpCirbSL.jpg?v=1788268927"},"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":600,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/617UpCirbSL.jpg?v=1788268927","width":800},{"alt":null,"id":33272777769140,"position":7,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":450,"width":600,"src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/51KjRtVJApL.jpg?v=1788268928"},"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":450,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/51KjRtVJApL.jpg?v=1788268928","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch3\u003eAdafruit Feather RP2040 SCORPIO 8-Channel NeoPixel Driver with 264KB RAM and Infrared Connection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"b\"\u003eThe RP2040 PIO State Machine is perfect for LED driving: it can produce\nperfect waveforms, with up to 8 outputs at the same time, all via DMA.
