Description
The Little Bird Lorikeet is an RGB LED strip 5 programmable LEDs.
This Australian made board uses the WS2812B LED (better known as NeoPixels).
This Raspberry Pi HAT has a chain-able design means you can hook up several modules of these RGB LEDs to increase the length of your project. You only need a single micro-controller pin (like on Arduino, Micro:bit or Raspberry Pi Pico) to control as many as you can chain together!
Each Raspberry Pi RGB LED is addressable as it has the driver chip inside the LED.
Each one has 18mA constant current drive so the colour will be very consistent even if the voltage varies.

The Lorikeet can also be used with Adafruit NeoPixel Libraries.
Not sure where to start? Check out our guides on the Lorikeet with Arduino. Alternatively, you could learn to build a temperature indicator with it and the Raspberry Pi Pico.
This works fantastically with the Loop Cable for Micro:bit. You can hook this up to your micro:bit with the loop cable and have it control all the pretty lights.
This Little Bird Lorikeet is made locally in Sydney, Australia!

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- 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.
