WS2812 16-bit 5050 Full Color RGB LED Module

Wiring Connections:

• Power Connection: Connect the V+ pin to a 5V power supply and the GND pin to ground.
• Data Input: The DI (data input) pin connects to the digital output of a microcontroller for control signals.
• Data Output: The DO (data output) pin can be connected to the next WS2812 module in a chain.

Power:

• Operating Voltage: 5V DC power supply is required for operation.
• Power Consumption: Approximately 60mA per LED at full brightness (all colors on).

Input and Output:

• Input: Accepts control signals from a microcontroller or compatible controller (like Arduino).
• Output: Provides rich, full-color output for decorative and functional lighting applications.

Physical Characteristics:

• Module Dimensions:  around 50mm x 25mm (varies by design).
• Weight: Lightweight, usually around 10 grams per module.

Technical Specifications:

• Temperature Range: Operates effectively in environments from -20°C to 60°C.
• Control Protocol: Uses a single-wire communication protocol, making it easy to interface with most microcontrollers.

Additional Features:

• Pre-programmed Effects: Many libraries are available (like FastLED or Adafruit NeoPixel) that simplify programming and control.
• Versatile Applications: Perfect for mood lighting, decorative displays, wearables, and signage.
• Low Profile Design: The slim design of the 5050 package allows for flexible installations.

How to Use:

1. Connecting the Module:
   • Connect the V+ to a 5V power source, GND to ground, and the data input (DI) to a digital output pin on your microcontroller.
2. Programming:
   • Use libraries like FastLED or NeoPixel to control the LEDs. Write code to set colors, effects, and animations.
3. Testing:
   • Power on the module and upload your program. Check that each LED responds as expected, showing the programmed colors and effects.
4. Chaining Modules:
   • If using multiple modules, connect the DO pin of the first module to the DI pin of the next one to create a continuous strip.

Applications:

• Decorative Lighting: Use in homes, events, and exhibitions for stunning visual displays.
• Wearable Technology: Ideal for costumes and accessories that require dynamic lighting.
• Signs and Displays: Create bright and colorful signage for advertising or decoration.
• DIY Projects: Great for hobbyists looking to add visual flair to their electronic projects.
