Adafruit NeoPixel 5050 RGB LED with Integrated LED Driver, Pack of 10, 1655
Adafruit NeoPixel 5050 RGB LED with Integrated LED Driver, Pack of 10, 1655
Make your own smart LED arrangement with our tiny LED chips, which can also be found in the NeoPixel strips. These small 5050 RGB LEDs (5mm x 5mm) are easy to solder and provide a compact way to incorporate multiple bright LEDs into your design. The driver chip is integrated into the LED and ensures a constant power supply of approx. 18mA so color stays consistent even when voltage varies. No external resistance required! Simply operate with 5 V and you're ready to go. These LEDs are cascadable over a single data line - ideal for unique DIY projects. Note the LEDs have a very timing specific protocol, perfect for microcontrollers such as Arduino and AVR. Unfortunately, you cannot use them with Linux-based systems. The LEDs have in principle a WS2811 chip integrated, fixed to 800 kHz "high speed". COMPATIBILITY Our Neopixel library supports these LEDs. Requirements: 8MHz or faster processor required. These LEDs come in a pack of 10 individual LEDs, perfect for hobbyists and tinkerers. However, please note that they are intended for manual soldering and are not suitable for automated assembly machines.
Product Features
- Compact size with a size of only 5 mm x 5 mm, these 5050 RGB LEDs offer a space-saving solution for your project without sacrificing brightness.
- Easy chaining: the LEDs are 'chainable', which means that you simply connect the output of one chip to the input of the next. So you can create impressive light animations with ease!
- Stable colours thanks to the integrated driver module, a constant power supply of approx. 18 mA, which allows uniform colour reproduction even when the voltage fluctuates.
- Easy to use ideal for hobbyists. These raw LEDs are perfect for manual soldering, but at the same time remain trendy and functional - ideal for DIY projects.
- Compatible with Arduino Use the popular Neopixel library for Arduino to control these LEDs with ease. All you need is a microcontroller that can execute commands in real time!
