SparkFun RGB LED Breakout - WS2812
Discontinued
A breakout board for a single WS2812 addressable RGB LED — the same LED used in NeoPixel strips and rings. The WS2812 integrates a WS2811 driver directly into the LED package, so each breakout needs only a single data line to control full 24-bit colour.
All pins are broken out to 2.54 mm (0.1″) headers for easy breadboarding. Multiple boards can be daisy-chained together via the data output pin to form addressable LED strings or displays.
