A pack of 10 miniature 3535-format (3.5 × 3.5 mm) NeoPixel RGB LEDs with white casing and integrated WS2811-compatible driver chips. These are half the size of standard 5 × 5 mm NeoPixels, making them the most compact way to add individually addressable RGB lighting to custom PCB designs.
Each LED includes a constant-current driver, so colour remains consistent across voltage variations without external resistors. The LEDs are chainable — connect the data output of one to the data input of the next. Power the chain at 5 V DC and control with any real-time microcontroller (AVR, Arduino, PIC, etc.) running at 8 MHz or faster.

Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- AVR
- AVR is a family of 8-bit microcontrollers used in many classic Arduino-style boards. If a USB host library mentions AVR support, it suggests the examples or compatibility may be aimed at those older microcontroller boards.
- constant-current driver
- A constant-current driver supplies a set current even as the load voltage changes. For a TFT backlight, this helps keep brightness stable and prevents the LEDs from being overdriven.
- 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.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
- 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.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
- 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.
