Neopixel WS2812 LED Module

DESCRIPTION

The Neopixel WS2812B LED Light carries individually addressable RGB LEDs, each with its own built-in driver chip. Controlled from a single data pin, it lets makers, students and hobbyists add full-colour animations, status indicators and light effects to Arduino, ESP32 and Raspberry Pi projects.

Input and output pads at each end allow multiple sticks to be daisy-chained into longer runs, all controlled from the same data line using popular libraries such as Adafruit NeoPixel and FastLED.

FEATURES

• WS2812B 5050 RGB LEDs with integrated driver ICs
• Each LED individually addressable for 24-bit colour (16.7 million colours)
• Single-wire data control — uses only one microcontroller pin
• Cascadable via DIN/DOUT pads to build longer light bars
  
• Supported by Adafruit NeoPixel, FastLED and MicroPython neopixel libraries

APPLICATIONS

• Status indicators and level meters
• Ambient, mood and decorative lighting
• Wearables, cosplay props and costume lighting
• Robot and drone lighting effects
• Classroom STEM projects teaching colour and coding
