README.mdStepstick Neopixel Board
Dual output level shifted Stepstick adaptor for neopixel strips.
Overview
This board converts the logic level STEP and DIR outputs on a Stepstick header to 5V level for properly driving 2 Neopixel strips. Input 5V from a 2-pin JST-XH header, with 2 outputs on 3-pin JST-XH headers.
Setup
To use, simply configure the STEP/DIR pin for the socket you plug the board into as your neopixel pin. It's that simple!

Questions
How big is the Stepstick Pixel PCB?
It measures 15.2 × 20.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Stepstick Pixel use?
6 parts, built around the 74LVC1G17Z. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Stepstick Pixel KiCad files?
From the timmit99/Stepstick_Neopixel_Board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Stepstick_Pixel.kicad_pcb and its schematic Stepstick_Pixel.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Stepstick Pixel design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
