The WS2812B RGB LED Module is a small module with BIG color. The module has a special LED on board that contains three separate LEDs – red, green, and blue – as well as a smart control IC that can individually drive each LED. Each color has 256 intensity levels which allows the module to produce 24-bit color, or more than 16 million colors. Each module is instructed by using a special serial protocol. This protocol allows many modules to be daisy-chained together so that one microcontroller can control the whole lot – with a single data signal. Any number of these modules can be chained together by connecting one module’s data-out (DO) pin to another’s data-in (DI) pin.

Caution - these LEDs are extremely bright! You might want to avoid looking directly at them up close when lit.

Key Features:

String many together to make an array of individually addressable lights
With 24-bit color, each module can display more than 16 million unique colors of the rainbow
The module’s small size is breadboard-friendly with 0.1” header spacing
Control all LEDs in a chain with a single I/O pin
