The NeoPixel ring has 3 connections: GND, +/VCC, and the signal/IN. The signal is connected to an output pin and given as parameter (in the example pin 0). The chip to decode the protocol - built into the NeoPixel ring - is WS2812. They are also available in different sizes (more or less LEDs) and different shapes (e.g. band). You have to provide the total number of LEDs as parameter.

If you need more than one ring (or other arrangements), you can put them in a row - basically connecting the next ring to the first one (you have to solder it on).

You can "chain" them. If you only have one ring, just connect GND, VCC, and In.
