LilyPad Pixel Board Hookup Guide

Introduction
Tired of having to stick with one LED color choice on your LilyPad LED projects? Using addressable LilyPad Pixel Boards allows your project to showcase a variety of colors with less wiring - several of these breakouts can be chained together and controlled by one pin on a LilyPad Arduino. The pixel board is equipped with a WS2812B which is actually an RGB LED with a WS2811 built right into the LED! So set aside some time (and alligator clips) to prototype along with us and then brainstorm how to implement it into a wearable project.
