Ok this is maybe super (I should know this!) but, ImAdafruit is exasperating! I tried to talk to a tech but it’s a big circle jerk trying to post something on the forums!
I have acquired several unused Neopixel Sticks with 8 RGB LEDs. I have never used them and I really don’t want to go the Arduino rough to test all of them. I read they operate on a PWM signal. Again this is probably naïve but I have tons of servo motors I mess with and was wondering if a tester , probably configured differently if it will even work, can be made like the one I check servos with can be made to send a scalable PWM signal to run the pixel sticks through there colors? Out of the box I know…maybe way out but I’m asking and would appreciate any insight or helpe

Thanks

 

They are not controlled by PWM. The data signal is a digitally encoded RGB value using long and short pulses. You need a microcontroller to operate them.
