A 200 cm extendable RGB LED strip using digitally addressable WS2811 NeoPixel LEDs with a Grove connector. Each LED can display its own colour and brightness independently, and multiple strips can be daisy-chained together to create longer displays.
Compatible with M5Stack units via the Grove A port (GPIO 21), and programmable using Arduino IDE or UIFlow (Blockly/Python) with the FastLED library.
Key Features
- Digitally Addressable – Individual RGB colour and brightness control per LED
- Grove Connector – Plug-and-play with M5Stack and compatible boards
- Extendable – Daisy-chain multiple strips together
- Single-Bus Protocol – Simple wiring with one data line
- Length: 200 cm (2 m)
Pin Mapping (M5Stack Grove A)
- Signal: GPIO 21
- Power: 5 V
- Ground: GND
Ideal For
- M5Stack NeoPixel projects
- Decorative and accent lighting
- Interactive LED displays
- Arduino and UIFlow programming projects
Package Contents
- 1× RGB LED Strip (200 cm)
- 1× Grove Cable

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- GND
- GND is the ground or reference connection (0 V) for a circuit. When connecting two devices together, their grounds must be joined so both agree on what counts as a low or high signal.
- GPIO
- General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
- Grove
- Grove is a standardised 4-pin plug-in connector system for sensors and modules that avoids soldering and jumper wires, with different cable types carrying I2C, UART, analogue or digital signals. When a product is Grove-compatible it can be quicker to connect supported modules, provided the connector type, signal and voltage all match.
- IDE
- Short for Integrated Development Environment, a program used to write, run and manage code. It matters because some learners prefer a traditional coding workspace instead of a guided notebook-style lesson.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- 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, the three primary colours of light that are mixed in varying amounts to make a wide range of colours. In electronics RGB can refer to an LED or pixel that blends these three colours, or to a colour signal or interface that carries separate red, green and blue channels.
