LED module, 8 WS2812 5050 LEDs, illuminated strip - 5 V, 56×10 mm, Arduino

RGB strip 8 x LED WS2812 5050 - for Arduino, for ESP8266, for ESP32, for Raspberry Pi

The strip consists of 8 individually addressable RGB LED diodes with an integrated driver. It can be controlled by most microcontrollers - for Arduino, for ESP8266, for ESP32, for Raspberry Pi. The LEDs on the 53 mm long strip are evenly spaced. Total current draw for all LEDs is about 160 mA. The module is powered by a voltage in the range of 4 V to 7 V.

Thanks to the communication protocol used, serial connection of additional modules is possible. The next lighting element connects to the output connector by wiring the power and signal pins DOUT to DIN accordingly.
