Adafruit NeoPixel Jewel - 7 x WS2812B RGB LED
Overview
The Adafruit 4544 is a compact, circular module featuring seven individually addressable RGB LEDs arranged in a jewel pattern. It utilizes the WS2812B integrated driver, allowing for full 24-bit color control over a single-wire serial interface at a fixed 5V operating voltage.
Why Choose This Part
The module reduces wiring complexity by daisy-chaining multiple LEDs through a single data line. Its integrated driver handles PWM timing internally, ensuring flicker-free color mixing without taxing the host microcontroller's processing overhead.
Applications
Getting Started
Connect the 5V, GND, and DIN pins to an Arduino or compatible microcontroller and use the Adafruit NeoPixel library for control. Ensure a 300 to 500 ohm resistor is placed in series with the data input to prevent voltage spikes from damaging the first LED.
