This RGB LED HAT (B) from Waveshare features RGB WS2812B LEDs and can be easily attached on top of a standard 40-pin Raspberry Pi header to display colorful LED effect. Better yet, it's controlled by just a signal pin, freeing up all of the other valuable GPIO pins for use in the rest of your project. Note: Raspberry Pi not included. You'll need a Raspberry Pi , or Raspberry Pi Zero with male headers soldered on. Alternatively, you can purchase a Raspberry Pi Zero with the headers presoldered .
