If you've worked with multiple LEDs, you know what a pain the wiring can be. Well, digitally addressable LEDs will become your new favorite thing.

WS2812 RGB LED Strips

Each LED in our WS2812 RGB LED Strips has a built-in controller chip which allows you to daisy-chain the LEDs and control them individually - all from a single GPIO! The constant-current driver in each LED ensures that colour remains consistent, even if supply-voltage varies slightly from the optimal 5V.

APA102 RGB LED Strips

APA102 LEDs are similar to the well-known WS2812B, however, these use a different driver chip which takes hardware SPI. This greatly reduces the resources required to drive them compared to the WS2812 chips, but requires an extra wire.

Digital LEDs come in different forms, and indeed these plain looking LEDs have built in drivers so you can control them just as you would a NeoPixel.

    We know these look like a lot of our other LEDs, but they’re not! These are PTH Addressable RGB LEDs with a WS2812 control IC built right into the them. This PTH version is incredibly similar to its SMD cousin, except it is a lot simpler to solder into your project and is in a diffused 5mm package. This RGB LED has the control IC moved into the actual LED, so we wanted to offer this amazing product to you! They’re great when you need a lot of color from not a lot of board space, now more so than ever.
