Anyone know the dimensions?</p>

The main reason why I don't want to use the NeoPixel library is for my own knowledge expansion. I don't like relying on someone else. Plus I have found that with most libraries (such as jquery for example) there is a lot of extra code to make it "easy" to use, when the one or two purposes I need can be done in much less code; why waste resources when we don't need to?</p>

As for not using the Neopixel library I can think of 2 options but it really depends on why you don't want to use the Neopixel library. The first is to look at the Neopixel library and copy (or rewrite to your liking) their code into your project. They've already dug through the datasheet, figured out what needs to be done and written code to use it. I recommend this option if you are trying to port code to a different microcontroller, or for some reason need to not use the library structure. The second option is to dig through the datasheet yourself and write the code that way. This will definitely work, but why not use the work someone else has already done.</p>

<li>Does this include the WS2812B or do you have to purchase those separately?</li>
<li>What if I don't want to use the NeoPixel library to control these? How would I control them without using a library?</li>

The LED - SMD RGB (WS2812) https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11821 is the closest led i can find for this board but it is a 6 pin led while the ws2812b is 4 pin and i cant find ws2812b on sparkfun.</p>
