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
Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- 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 plug-in connector ecosystem for sensors and modules that avoids soldering and jumper wires. Grove compatibility matters because it can make it quicker to add supported I2C devices, as long as the cable and voltage are suitable.
- 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 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.
