I am really confused on how to connect the photon to neopixels strip (60leds). I heard that since the output of the photon is 3.3v, I will need a way to make it 5v for the neopixels. How can I make this happen. Also, I have 2 versions of the neopixels: WS2812S and WS2812B will any of these work?

Easiest way to wire the Photon to Neopixels
