Adafruit NeoPixel Shield for Arduino - 40 RGB LED Pixel Matrix
The Adafruit NeoPixel Shield for Arduino contains 40 individually addressable RGB LEDs arranged in a 5×8 matrix, and only a single (customizable) Arduino pin is required to control them all. Multiple NeoPixel Shields can also be chained together to create larger arrays.

Adafruit NeoPixel library
This Arduino library from Adafruit is as an alternative to our library and should work for controlling our SK6812/WS281x-Based Addressable RGB LEDs.
-
Adafruit NeoMatrix library
This Arduino library from Adafruit makes it easy to control matrices of NeoPixels and should also work with any chain of SK6812/WS281x-Based Addressable RGB LEDs arranged in the correct grid pattern. Note that this library requires the Adafruit NeoPixel and Adafruit GFX libraries.
