Often you will find that the slave device even on 5V will happilly accept 3.3v control signals directly.

Can you say what the LED neo-pixel part is and what you intend to use to drive the interface line(s). Then I could check the levels for you.

Here's a useful resource: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-...c-of-neopixels
Essentially looking to do as in the picture here.
using something like this : https://www.amazon.co.uk/ALITOVE-Dif.../dp/B01M7TN8A2 in terms of lights, and this : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Switching-A.../dp/B0174JDFWE as a power supply
