## Description

This is a colour LED with a brain! Includes a bright WS2812B addressable RGB LED. This smart module can be daisy-chained, so you can connect a number of these together in a string and drive each of the module colours individually from your microcontroller.

Fully compatible with the FastLED and NeoPixel libraries, so you can connect a bunch of these to your Arduino using just one data pin and control them all independently.
