## Description

The Adafruit DotStar Digital LED Strip (30 LED/m, black flex PCB) delivers superior performance over traditional NeoPixels with its 2-wire SPI interface. Push data at up to 32 MHz clock speed with no critical timing requirements, making it compatible with virtually any microcontroller or microprocessor. Each 5050-sized RGB LED contains an embedded driver chip that handles 24-bit colour output and 20 KHz PWM — ideal for persistence-of-vision (POV) projects and smooth, flicker-free colour blending even at low brightness levels. This is 1 metre of the 30 LED/m density on black flex PCB, sold from 4-metre reels. Key Features SPI Interface – 2-wire (clock + data) protocol works with any processor speed; no timing-critical code required 24-Bit Colour – 8 bits per channel (red, green, blue) for over 16 million colours 20 KHz PWM – 50× faster than NeoPixel's 400 Hz for flicker-free operation and smooth POV effects Up to 32 MHz Data Rate – Hardware SPI supported but not required Weatherproof Sheathing – Flexible PCB with protective coating Cuttable – Cut lines every 3.4 cm (1 LED), solder to 0.1" copper pads Chainable – Connect strips together for longer runs 4-Pin JST SM Connectors – Included on each end of full reels Also Available DotStar 30 LED/m – White PCB DotStar 60 LED/m – Black PCB DotStar 60 LED/m – White PCB DotStar 144 LED/m 0.5m – Black PCB DotStar 144 LED/m 0.5m – White PCB DotStar 144 LED/m 1m – Black PCB DotStar 144 LED/m 1m – White PCB Ideal For Persistence-of-vision (POV) displays and wearables Ambient lighting and architectural installations LED art and cosplay projects Projects requiring fast data rates with any microcontroller Package Contents 1× DotStar LED strip – 30 LED/m, 1 metre, black flex PCB, with JST SM connectors Warning: You must use a 5V DC power supply. Do not exceed 6V or you may permanently damage the entire strip.
