Description of LED strip RGB WS2812 5050 x 8 LEDs – 57mm
The strip consists of 8 individually addressed RGB LEDs with an integrated controller. To control the module, one microcontroller’s pin is sufficient, e.g. an Arduino. The LEDs are placed at equal distances on the strip with a length of 57 mm. Each one of the LEDs consumes up to 20 mA, which, in this case, gives a total value of approx. 160 mA. The strip can be powered with a voltage from 4 V to 7 V.
The used communication protocol allows the serial connection of the LEDs. Another circuit should be connected to the output connector, combining respectively 4-7VDC, GND and DOUT with DIN. The manufacturer notes that when working with more than 500 LEDs, there may not be enough RAM in the Arduino Uno system.
Connection
The device has four leads:- GND– module weight
- VCC – supply voltage, 20 mA current per one LED
- DIN– digital control signal from the microcontroller
- DOUT – output to connect the next ring
The product is compatible with Arduino and Raspberry Pi
The product works with the NeoPixel libraries from Adafruit: |
