Each RGB LED and controller chip is molded into a 'dot' of silicone. The dots are weatherproof and rugged. There are four flanges molded in so that you can 'push' them into a 12mm drill hole in any material up to 1.5mm\/0.06\" thick. They're typically used to make outdoor signs. These pixels have a flat square back, we also have pixels that are long and thin, both are the same electronics, just different shapes!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pixels are connected by a 4-conductor cable. +5V (Red), Ground (Blue), Data (Yellow) and Clock (Green). Data is shifted down from one pixel to the next so that you can easily cut the strand or attach more onto the end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach dot is digitally controlled, with an internal 8-bit PWM LED driver (24-bit color for 16 million different shades). The pixels must be clocked by a microcontroller, we have an example code linked below that works on an Arduino, it should be simple to adapt it to any other microcontroller.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pixels use 8mm diffused RGB LEDs, with a 120 degree beam width. The total max brightness of all LEDs is about 1600mcd but with the light more evenly distributed \u0026amp; mixed than a clear LED. (Please note: mcd ratings of LEDs are notoriously inflated by most LED sellers, so be extra-skeptical when reviewing LED ratings!)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSold by the strand, each strand has 25 pixels in series! Each strand has two JST SM 4-pin connectors so you can connect multiple strands in a row, as many as you wish, just watch for how much current they want. We now have LED pixel strands with the power wires (red \u0026amp; blue) spliced out so its really easy to connect 5VDC in using a 2.1mm jack terminal adapter. We have a 5V\/2A supply that should be able to drive 2 or more strands and a 5V\/10A supply that can drive up to 160 LEDs all lit up at once\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you want to connect to the \u003cstrong\u003einput\u003c\/strong\u003e of a strand (to wire it to power and a microcontroller) please get a plug connector.

The driver chip is inside the LED and has ~18mA constant current drve so the color will be very consistent even if the voltage varies, and no external choke resistors are required making your design minimal. Power the whole thing with 5VDC and you're ready to rock.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cb\u003eThis is the older 'S revision of the LED chips with 6 pins, not 4!\u003c\/b\u003e It is code compatible and the same over-all shape and functionality but not the same pinout so you cannot use these to replace an 'B chip. If you are designing a new PCB we suggest going with the B, since it has built in polarity protection. Other than that, B and S are the same brightness, and use the exact same code interface.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe LEDs are 'chainable' by connecting the output of one chip into the input of another - see the datasheet for diagrams and pinouts. To allow the entire chip to be integrated into a 6-pin package, there is a single data line with a very timing-specific protocol. Since the protocol is very sensitive to timing, it requires a real-time microconroller such as an AVR, Arduino, PIC, mbed, etc. It cannot be used with a Linux-based microcomputer or interpreted microcontroller such as the netduino or Basic Stamp. 7:53)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"tab-technical-details-content\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse in\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWS2812 Datasheet\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSK6812 Datasheet\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMay ship with either WS2812B or SK6812-based LEDs.
