“Teensy-LC (low cost) is coming in about 1 month, featuring a 32 bit Cortex-M0+ processor at 48 MHz, 64K flash, 8K RAM, and a rich hardware peripheral set… at a retail price of $11.65 (USD)”
“A 5V output buffer is provided for pin 17, to output a 5V logic signal useful for driving WS2812/NeoPixel LED strips.”

Can’t decide if I want to pick one of these up or just use this hack on my current strip.

Yeah, this seems like it’ll be a nice alternative to the Trinket, Beetle, etc. I’ve been extremely happy with the Teensy 3.1. The Spark Photon should be great for just $7 more (when it ships) if you need WiFi.
Gotta get me one!
Or three. Or…
I NEED A FEW!! sigh. 
Holy shit! Nice one.
Looks like another winner, @Paul_Stoffregen – very nice feature set/pricepoint – especially that 5v pin for driving some WS2811/WS2812!
@Daniel_Garcia and I are looking forward to getting FastLED up and running smoothly on it; the whole ARM Teensy line has been great.
