This ready-to-use breakout board for the WS2812B addressable LED features pre-soldered headers for immediate, solder-free prototyping.
Start your addressable LED project faster than ever with the SparkFun WS2812B RGB LED Breakout (with Headers). This version of the board comes with headers pre-soldered for your convenience, allowing you to plug it directly into a breadboard with no soldering required. It features the popular WS2812B (commonly known as a "NeoPixel"), an all-in-one component that integrates a full-color LED and a controller into a single package. This design simplifies wiring and allows you to control an entire chain of LEDs with just one digital pin from your microcontroller.
- Individually Addressable: Each LED has an integrated driver, allowing you to set its unique color (24-bit) and brightness.
- Single-Wire Control: Requires only one microcontroller pin to control an entire chain of LEDs.
- No Soldering Required: Comes with headers pre-soldered, making it ready for immediate use in a breadboard.
- Daisy-Chainable: Input and output pins allow you to easily connect multiple boards together to create custom-length strips or displays.
