A ring of 24 individually addressable WS2812 RGB LEDs in the 5050 package. Each LED contains an integrated driver chip, so only a single data pin is needed to control all 24 LEDs from your microcontroller.
The rings are chainable — connect the data output of one ring to the data input of another to create larger displays. Compatible with popular libraries like Adafruit NeoPixel and FastLED.
Key Features
- 24 × WS2812 RGB LEDs – Individually addressable, full 24-bit colour
- Single Data Pin – Control all LEDs with one microcontroller pin
- Chainable – Link multiple rings together via data in/out
- 5050 Package – Integrated WS2812 driver inside each LED
Ideal For
- LED clocks and status indicators
- Wearable electronics and costumes
- Decorative lighting effects
- Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects
Package Contents
- 1× WS2812 RGB LED Ring (24 LEDs)
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.
- 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.
- 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.
