The \u003cstrong\u003eDotstar RGB LED Disk\u003c\/strong\u003e is sprinkled with digitally-addressable LEDs, comes on a white PCB with two 4 pin JST-SM connectors already soldered to it so it's ready to rock straight out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are the same integrated LEDs that are used in our new fancy DotStar strips. This tiny 5050 (5mm x 5mm) SMD LED is the most compact way possible to integrate multiple bright LEDs to a design. Rather than NeoPixels, this disk uses DotStar LEDs, which use a 2-wire protocol that is less timing-specific and has high-frequency PWM for smoother color blending.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike NeoPixels, DotStar LEDs are 5050-sized LEDs with an embedded microcontroller \u003cstrong\u003einside the LED\u003c\/strong\u003e. You can set the color\/brightness of each LED to 24-bit color (8 bits each red green and blue). Each LED acts like a shift register, reading incoming color data on the input pins, and then shifting the previous color data out on the output pin. By sending a long string of data, you can control an infinite number of LEDs. The PWM is built into each LED-chip so once you set the color you can stop talking to the disk and it will continue to PWM all the LEDs for you\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnother nice thing about DotStars is their high PWM rate. You only have to set the 24-bit color data for each pixel LED once, and then the LED+built-in-chip will handle the PWMing of the red, green and blue. On NeoPixels, this PWM rate happens 400 Hz, which works well but is noticably at lower brightnesses and if the strip is moving in any way. DotStars have a 20 KHz PWM rate, so even when moving the disk around, you won't see the pixelation, the color blending is very smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou'll need \u003cem\u003ea lot\u003c\/em\u003e of power to fully light up this disk, so be sure to pick of a 5V 10A power supply!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe have a tutorial showing wiring, power usage calculations, example code for usage, etc. Please check it out!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote\u003c\/strong\u003e: Shipping weight reflects UPS' new dimensional weight regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"tab-technical-details-content\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse in\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAPA102C Datasheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDotstar RGB LED Disk Datasheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisk Diameter: 242mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisk Thickness: 3mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 187g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul id=\"product-files\"\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-2 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-4\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48623656927450,"sku":"hvz1789674823118","price":112.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0824\/8318\/3834\/files\/dotstar-rgb-led-disk---240mm-diameter-discontinued_1.jpg?v=1789674827"},{"product_id":"analog-rgbw-led-strip-rgb-plus-warm-white-60-ledm-3000k-4m","title":"Analog RGBW LED Strip - RGB plus Warm White - 60 LED\/m (~3000K) - 4m","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe RGB + Warm White Analogue LED Strip (60 LEDs\/m) combines vibrant colour with soft, warm white light for stunning, flexible illumination.

The NeoPixel is “split” internally: one half is the RGB section, and the other is a warm white LED with yellow phosphor. When unlit it looks a bit like an egg yolk, but once powered up it’s extremely bright. Each channel has 8-bit PWM control, giving 32-bit colour overall (8 bits × 4 channels), which is ideal for mixing colourful effects with warm white highlights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are 5050 (5mm × 5mm) SMD LEDs, compact and fairly easy to solder.

Important: you’ll need a NeoPixel library that supports RGBW, otherwise you’ll get very strange results. The Adafruit NeoPixel library does support RGBW, but other libraries may need extra work.

Each LED can draw up to 60mA, meaning a single panel can require up to 3.5A if all LEDs are set to bright white. For most applications, expect around 1–2A per panel.

With four of these quarter sections, you can assemble a large 60-LED ring measuring 6.2\" in diameter. Each order includes one quarter ring (15 LEDs). To create the complete circle, you’ll need to purchase four segments and solder them together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe segments are chainable – connect the output pin of one to the input pin of the next. Only one microcontroller pin is required to control as many sections as you link together. Each LED is individually addressable, with the driver chip built into the 5050-sized (5mm x 5mm) LED package. Each pixel features ~18mA constant current drive for consistent colour even if the supply voltage varies, and no external resistors are required. Power everything with 5V DC and you’re ready to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NeoPixel is effectively split: one half is the familiar RGB LED, and the other half is a white LED with a yellow phosphor. Unlit, it resembles an egg yolk.

The PWM refresh rate is approximately 400 Hz, which works well in most situations but can be noticeable if the LEDs are moving. By comparison, DotStar LEDs use a 20 kHz PWM rate for smoother blending during motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach LED acts like a shift register, reading incoming data on its input pin and passing remaining data down the chain.

For those processors, check our DotStar digital LED strip which has SPI-like input\/output and works easily with Pi, NETduino, and other processors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe way the pixels are controlled by an Arduino, the entire strip must be buffered in memory, and we've found many Arduino UNO projects only have about 1500bytes of RAM available after all the extras are included - enough for about 500 LED pixels. If you want to drive the entire strip and have some other libraries included, you may need to use a Mega.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are 144 RGB LEDs per meter, and you can control each LED individually! Yes, that's right, this is the digitally-addressable type of LED strip. You can set the color of each LED's red, green and blue component with 8-bit PWM precision (so 24-bit color per pixel). The LEDs are controlled by shift-registers that are chained up down the strip so you can shorten or lengthen the strip. Only 1 digital output pin are required to send data down. The PWM is built into each LED-chip so once you set the color you can stop talking to the strip and it will continue to PWM all the LEDs for you\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe strip is made of flexible PCB material, and comes with a weatherproof sheathing. You can cut this stuff pretty easily with wire cutters, there are cut-lines every 7mm \/ 0.27\" (1 LED each). Solder to the 0.1\" copper pads and you're good to go. Of course, you can also connect strips together to make them longer, just watch how much current you need! We have a 5V\/4A supply that should be able to drive 1 meter and a 5V\/10A supply that can drive up to 10 meters (depending on use) \u003cb\u003eYou must use a 5V DC power supply to power these strips, do not use higher than 6V or you can destroy the entire strip\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThese come in 1 meter reels\u003c\/b\u003e with a 2 or 3-pin JST SM connector on each end and separated power\/ground wires. \u003cstrong\u003eIf you buy multiples, you will get multiple 1 meter strips, they will not come on a continuous strip\u003c\/strong\u003e!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo wire up these strips we suggest picking up a 2.1mm DC jack to wire in so you can connect one of our wall adapters to power it.
