## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=COM-14967:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/COM-14967:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

This is the one inch version of the SparkFun LuMini LED Ring, packed with 20 individually addressable LEDs, each capable of producing 16 million colors, it provides you with a lot of color for just about any reason! LuMini is a miniaturized version of our Lumenati LED line but instead of utilizing 5mm by 5mm APA102 LEDs (APA102-5050), LuMini uses a 2mm by 2mm package (APA102-2020). This allows for incredibly tight pixel densities, and thus, a more continuous ring of color for you to use!

The LuMini LED Ring is powered and controlled using a few solder pads on the back of each board. These pads include 5V and ground, a set of pads for data and clock input, and another set for data and clock output. Since the ring acts like a string of LEDs, you'll find multiple numbers silked onto the back of the board that correspond to the LED number in the above. The last handy feature we've equipped the LuMini LED Ring with is four detachable mounting points (two inside the ring and two outside) that can be used to secure your ring to a surface/project or be broken off to make more complex designs.

**Note:** In larger installations you may need to add a decoupling capacitor between power and ground to prevent voltage dips when turning on a whole bunch of LED's simultaneously. Sparkfun recommend using a [4.7µF capacitor](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=15169) which Sparkfun sell in strips of 10.
