Create eye-catching circular lighting effects with this 24-LED addressable RGB ring. Each of the 24 WS2812 LEDs can be individually controlled for colour and brightness, making it perfect for interactive displays, wearable projects, and rotary encoder feedback. Compatible with the Adafruit NeoPixel library.
The ring has an 82 mm outer diameter and runs on 5V. LEDs can be chained with other WS2812-based products for larger displays.
Key Features
- 24× WS2812 RGB LEDs – Individually addressable 5 mm × 5 mm pixels in a circular layout
- 82 mm Outer Diameter – Compact ring format for mounting in enclosures or wearables
- ~18 mA Constant-Current Drive – Consistent colour output per LED
- 5V Input – Standard logic-level voltage for most microcontrollers
- Chainable – Connect to additional WS2812 rings, strips, or matrices
- NeoPixel Compatible – Works with Adafruit NeoPixel libraries for Arduino and CircuitPython
Ideal For
- Rotary encoder and knob visual feedback
- Wearable electronics and jewellery
- Clock and gauge displays
- Interactive art installations
Package Contents
- 1× Addressable RGB LED Ring (24 LEDs, assembled)
Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- CircuitPython
- A beginner-friendly version of Python designed to run directly on microcontroller boards. If a product supports CircuitPython, you can often program it by copying code files onto the board rather than setting up a more complex toolchain.
- encoder
- A device attached to a motor or shaft that reports movement, such as rotation steps or position. In a pump system, an encoder can help measure or control how much the motor has turned, which affects how repeatable the watering amount can be.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- NeoPixel
- A type of addressable LED system where colour data is sent along a single digital data line from one LED or controller to the next. Compatibility matters because the timing and signal format must match for the lights or driver board to respond correctly.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, usually referring to an LED that can mix those three colours. It matters because controlling an RGB LED teaches how separate outputs combine to create different colours.
