OEM Neopixel WS2812S 5050 RGB LED (with driver) 10 pcs.

Create your own smart LED arrangement using the same integrated LED found in our NeoPixel strip and pixels. These tiny 5050 (5mm x 5mm) RGB LEDs are relatively easy to solder and are the most compact way to integrate multiple bright LEDs into a design. The driver chip is built into the LED and has a constant current of ~18mA, ensuring that the color remains very consistent even when the voltage fluctuates, and no external current-limiting resistors are needed, keeping your design minimal. It operates on 5VDC, and you're ready to rock.

This is the S revision of the WS2812 LED chips with 6 pins!

The LEDs are cascadeable by connecting the output of one chip to the input of another - see the datasheet for diagrams and pinouts. To allow the entire chip to fit into a 6-pin package, there is a single data line with a very time-specific protocol. Since the protocol is very time-critical, it requires a real-time microcontroller like an AVR, Arduino, PIC, mbed, etc. It cannot be used with a Linux-based microcomputer or an interpreted microcontroller like the Netduino or Basic Stamp. The LEDs essentially have a WS2811 inside, but are fixed to the 800KHz 'high-speed' setting.

Packaged with 10 individual LEDs.
