Neopixel WS2812B RGB LED

This NeoPixel carries a single RGB LED (5 × 5 mm) with integrated WS2812B driver on a small round board that can be soldered directly to the connection wires. Several NeoPixels can be chained. Each LED is controlled individually via a single output of a microcontroller such as Arduino UNO, Mega or Nano.

Recommended Accessories:

• Stranded Wire Assortment 22AWG SparkFun
• Resistance Set 600 pcs. Assorted 1/4W 1% Accuracy

Features:

• 6 solder pads on the back, two each for 5 V and GND
• Each LED individually controllable via one data line
• Several modules can be chained (data output to data input)
• Library: FastLED or Adafruit NeoPixel
• 300 to 500 Ω resistor in the data line recommended
• With 3.3 V boards, a level shifter on the data line is recommended

Application Examples:

• Individual status and signal lights
• Lighting for model making
• Custom LED arrangements from individual points
