{"title":"Adafruit DotStar Digital LED Strip - Black 144 LED/m - One Meter [BLACK]","handle":"adafruit-dotstar-digital-led-strip-black-144-led-m-one-meter-black","url":"/products/adafruit-dotstar-digital-led-strip-black-144-led-m-one-meter-black","description":"Adafruit DotStar LED strips use 2-wire SPI instead of the single-wire protocol used by NeoPixels, allowing much faster data rates (up to 32 MHz) and a 20 KHz PWM refresh rate. This makes DotStars ideal for persistence-of-vision (POV) projects and smooth, flicker-free animations — especially at low brightness levels.\n\nEach 5050-sized DotStar LED contains an embedded controller with 24-bit colour (8 bits per channel). LEDs act as shift registers, so you can chain as many as you need. The separate clock and data lines mean any microcontroller or SBC can drive these strips without timing-critical code.\n\nKey Features\n\n\n144 LEDs per Metre – High-density strip on black flexible PCB\n\n2-Wire SPI Interface – Clock + data, up to 32 MHz, no timing-critical code needed\n\n24-Bit Colour – 8 bits per channel (red, green, blue) per LED\n\n20 KHz PWM – Smooth, flicker-free output even in motion\n\nWeatherproof Sheathing – Protective outer coating\n\nCuttable – Cut lines every 1 LED\n\n4-Pin JST SM Connectors – One on each end for easy chaining\n\n\nAlso Available\n\nDotStar 144 LED/m – 0.5 Metre (Black)\n\n\n\nImportant: Use a 5V DC power supply only — voltages above 6V will destroy the strip. Multiple strips are shipped as individual lengths, not continuous.\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nPersistence-of-vision (POV) displays\nHigh-density LED art and wearable projects\nSmooth animations and colour effects\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× DotStar LED Strip, 144 LED/m, 1 metre (Black PCB) with JST SM connectors\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":false,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":9224,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-2241","price":97.45,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":false,"available_quantity":0,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
