Description

RGB Pixels are digitally-controllable lights you can set to any color,or animation.Each RGB LED and controller chip is molded into a "dot" of silicone. The dots are waterproof and rugged. There are four flanges molded in so that you can "push" them into a 12mm drill hole in any material up to 1.5mm/0.06" thick.They are typically used to make outdoor signs.We also have flat-backed pixels that are essentially the same,but are not as long and thin.

The pixels are connected by 4-conductor cable. 5v =Red, GND=Yellow,CLK=Green,DAT=Blue.

Data is shifted down fom one pixel to the next so that you can easily cut the strand or ttach more onto the end.

Each dot is digitally controlled.with an internal 8-bit PWM LED diver(24 bit color for 16 million differet shades).The pixels must be clocked by a microcontroller,we have an example code linked below that works on an Arduino,it should be simple to adapt it to any other microcontroller.

These pixels use 8mm diffused RGB LEDs, with 140 degree beam width.The total max brightness of all the LEDs is about 1600mcd but with the light more evenly distributed&mixed than a clear LED.Please note:mcd ratings of LEDs are notoriously inflated by most LED sellers, so be extra-skeptical when receiving LED ratings!

Sold by the strand,each strand has 50 pixels in series!Each strand has two JST 4-PIN connectors so you can connect multiple strands in a row, as many as you wish, just watch for how much current they want.We now have LED pixel strands with the power wires ( red & yellow) spliced out so its really easy to connect 5VDC in using a 2.0mm jack terminal adapter.We have a 5v/2A supply that should be able to drive 2 or more strands and 5V/10A supply that can drive up tp 160LEDs all lt up at once.

You can drive these with an Arduino using any two microcontroller digital pins, check this library which alao has example code to demonstrate the strands and be sure to read our retailed tutorial on usage!
