DESCRIPTION
TECHNICAL DETAILS
version of the classic through-hole 5mm RGB LED with 4 legs, but instead of just red/green/blue
there's a little chip inside that can control the LED with high speed PWM for 24-bit color.
These are the diffused type instead of the Neopixel Clear 5mm LEDs. They look a lot like the
8mm variety but are smaller.
Power them with 5V and chain them together, tying the Data-Out pin of one to the Data-in of the
previous one in the chain. If you're using an Arduino, you can control these LEDs with our
wonderfully-written Neopixel library for Arduino. They also work great with our Trinkets. Note
that these are "RGB" instead of "GRB" format used in the 5050-sized LEDs you are so used to.
Check in the NeoPixel example code for how to swap the colors automagically.
These great looking LEDs are also fast and responsive with a milky-diffusing lens for a soft
look.

WS2812 Datasheet
SK6812 Datasheet
May ship with either WS2812B or SK6812-based LEDs. They are the same brightness, color
and protocol
We don't have a datasheet for the LEDs themselves yet, see the photos above for the pinouts.
The leads are flexible. The spacing starts at 1.1mm (0.04") but we were able to bend them as
needed.
