Neopixel Stick - 8x WS2812 RGB LED

This NeoPixel stick carries 8 RGB LEDs (5 × 5 mm) with integrated WS2812 driver on a board strip with two mounting holes. Several sticks can be chained. Each LED is controlled individually via a single output of a microcontroller such as Arduino UNO, Mega or Nano.

Recommended Accessories:

• Pin header male 1 X 40 pole RM 2.54mm straight short pin
• Dupont Cable M-F 20cm 20 Pieces
• Electrolytic capacitor 1000 µF 25 V

Features:

• 4 solder pads at each end, input DIN and output DOUT
• 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
• 500 to 1000 µF capacitor on the power supply recommended

Application Examples:

• Status and level indicators
• Lighting for model making and enclosures
• Light effects in your own projects
