DESCRIPTION
Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Mini NeoPixel RGB LEDinis! Make your own smart LED arrangement
with the same integrated LED that is used in our NeoPixel strip and pixels.
These MINI (3.5mm x 3.5mm) RGB LEDs are fairly easy to solder and are
half
the size of the
standard 5x5mm NeoPixels you may be used to seeing. You can see our comparison photo
above. They're the most compact way possible to integrate multiple bright LEDs to a design.
The driver chip is inside the LED and has a constant current drive so the color will be very
consistent even if the voltage varies, and no external choke resistors
This is the Pack of 10 NeoPixel Mini RGB LEDs with a Black Casing. We also have minis in a
White Casting here.
The LEDs are 'chainable' by connecting the output of one chip into the input of another - see
the datasheet for diagrams and pinouts. To allow the entire chip to be integrated into a 4-pin
package, 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 microcontroller 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. The LEDs basically have a WS2811 inside, but fixed at the
800KHz 'high speed' setting. Our wonderfully-written Neopixel library for Arduino supports
these pixels! As it requires hand-tuned assembly it is only for AVR cores but others may have
ported this chip driver code so please google around. An 8MHz or faster processor is required.
These raw LEDs are cut from a reel and/or might be loose. They may not suitable for pick &
place + reflow. LEDs are notoriously difficult to use in an automated process due to being very
sensitive to moisture and temperature. We recommend these for careful hand soldering only!
Comes in a package with 10 individual LEDs. We have a ready-to-go component for this in the
Adafruit EAGLE library
