NeoPixel Ring 24bit WS2812 5050 RGB LED Integrated Drivers full color lights 24 led


Round and round and round they go! 24 ultra bright smart LED NeoPixels are arranged in a circle with 86mm outer diameter. 
Ring composed of 24 individually addressable RGB LEDs with integrated driver.
The communication protocol used allows the diodes to be connected in series. The next chain should be connected to the output connector, connecting respectively 5V, GND and DOUT from DIN.
The rings are 'chainable' - connect the output pin of one to the input pin of another. Use only one microcontroller pin to control as many as you can chain together! Each LED is addressable as the driver chip is inside the LED. Each one has ~18mA constant current drive so the color will be very consistent even if the voltage varies, and no external choke resistors are required making the design slim. Power the whole thing with 5VDC and you're ready to rock.


There is a single data line with a very timing-specific protocol. Since the protocol is very sensitive to timing, it requires a real-time microconroller such as an AVR, Arduino, PIC, mbed, etc. It cannot be used with a Linux-based microcomputer or interpreted microcontroller such as the netduino or Basic Stamp.
