The Monkmakes LED Arc is a multicolour, addressable, 10-LED (SK6812) arc with pin header and ring connectors designed to work with pretty much any microcontroller that can control addressable WS2812/SK6812 LEDs, such as BBC micro:bit, Raspberry Pi Pico, Arduino, ESP32 and more.
Use the board's ring connectors with your micro:bit, or solder on pin headers (or wires directly) to connect to your favourite dev board. Examples are provided for Raspberry Pi Pico, Arduino and ESP32.
The board features handy mounting holes for fixing the board to your project, and the signature MonkMakes lightbulb power LED (cute!)
