From what I remember the Neopixels are not yet supported on the EZ-B via a direct connection yet, but can be done with a workaround using Arduino to EZ-B. I read about using these a little while back as I was looking to getting these myself at some point, but decided against it for now. I have just found the links to the threads I was reading, which was discussing about using them. I hope they help.

I bought a Neopixel Ring to test with the ez-b but haven't had a chance to play with it yet.

So I was able to make some headway. I could get all but one Neopixels to go full white. So some progress, still a bunch more to dial in.

Looks promising. Thanks for the update Jeremie.

Jeremie can you show how you wired it to ezb4

Looks like he is using the power and ground from port D0 and then the Tx from the UART

Got a little closer tonight with displaying some colors but the code's far from complete yet.
