Description
RGB LED strip powered with a voltage of 5 V with a removable silicone case. Consumes power: 7.2 W/m, the density is 30 diodes per meter. The temperature of white color light can be adjusted from 2200 K cool to 7500 K warm, the degree of protection isIP65. Price per pack, which includes a tape with length of 1 meter. The brightness is 210 lumens. The module need only two pins of the microcontroller. (for example,Arduino). The ribbon can display 24-bit color palette.
An example of a project using LED panels.

Connection
The device has a 4-pin connector consisting of the following outputs:
- GND (black wire)- module's ground
- 5 V (red wire)- voltage supply, for one matrix you should connect the source with maximum load current of at least 3.6 A for each meter
- C (blue wire)- digital control signal from the microcontroller (clock pin)
- D (green wire)- digital control signal from the microcontroller (data pin)
|
The product is compatible with Arduino and Raspberry Pi

Install the Adafruit library for Arduino:
- Download the library from GtitHub by clicking the button Download ZIP
- Unzip the downloaded ZIP file, the result should be the folder that contains the files: Adafruit_NeoPixel.cpp That Adafruit_NeoPixel.h and other subfolders
- Rename the main folder to: Adafruit_NeoPixel
- Move the entire folder to the directory that contains the Arduino library, by default you should follow the path: /Documents/Arduino/Libraries
- Start Arduino IDE, the library will appear in the Menu: File -> Examples
First run - example strandtest
- Run the test by choosing in the Arduino environment:
- File -> Examples -> Adafruit_DotStar -> strandtest.Ino
- Select the pin which will control the LEDs. By default, pin 4 and 5:
- Line 16 #define DATAPIN 4
- Line 17 #define CLOCKPIN 5
- Select the number of pixels that will be controlled. The default value is 30:
-
- Line 13 #define NUMPIXELS 30
- Load a program into Arduino. Pixeles should turn in reference to the number that was specified in line 13.
