SparkFun RGB LED Breakout - WS2812B (with Headers)

The SparkFun WS2812B RGB LED Breakout (with Headers) uses a WS2812B LED with a built-in controller, letting you set individual colours and brightness using one data pin. It includes pre-soldered headers for quick breadboard use and can be easily chained with others.

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-colour 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 colour (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 to create custom-length strips or displays.
