The WS2812 (often referred to as a "NeoPixel") has become the standard for addressable LED projects. This RGB LED Breakout board, now with pre-soldered right-angle headers, is the absolute easiest way to start using one, whether you're prototyping on a breadboard or just need a single, brilliant indicator.
This board features the WS2812B variant, the popular 4-pin component (Vcc, GND, Data In, Data Out) that improved upon older 6-pin models. This all-in-one component integrates a full-colour LED and a controller chip into a single package.
The magic of the WS2812B is its one-wire serial control. The integrated chip allows you to set the brightness for each of the red, green, and blue channels to one of 256 different levels (8-bit colour depth). This results in 16,777,216 (256³) possible colour combinations, allowing you to create stunning, dynamic, and complex lighting effects. Simply solder on some headers to add some light to your next project with zero soldering required.
We designed this breakout to be as simple as possible to get started.
This breakout is the perfect, low-cost way to add a single, fully addressable RGB LED to your project without the hassle of ANY soldering.
Note: This breakout board comes with headers pre-soldered, so no soldering is required. If you prefer a version without headers so you can choose your own, please see our WS2812B RGB LED Breakout.
