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 (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.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
- 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.
