I got this neopixel ring in a kit and as a non-hardware person it perplexes me how I’m supposed to use it. There’s no mount points. Is the expectation that everyone can design and print parts?

I can wire it up and program it but goodness knows how I actually affix it to my Pololu Romi.




Depending on the placement you’re after you can quite literally hot glue it, or use 3M command tape, or fabricate a little bracket/housing using hobbyist plastics or wood. Hot glue is probably the most common method since if done tidily it’s a strong hold but can be cleanly removed if required.
