The combined LED/driver chip on the LED is the extremely compact WS2812B – an improved WS2811 LED driver integrated directly into a 5050 RGB LED – which enables higher LED densities. On the right of ...

The second LED pixel grabs RGB sequence #2, displays it, and so on until the end of the chain is reached (Fig.4). Advertisement. Fig.4: Programming WS2811 LED drivers requires the 24-bit color code ..

Normally, when a project calls for addressable LEDs, we just throw a strip of WS2812s and an Arduino together, cobble together some code from the examples in the FastLED library, and call it a day.… ...

Timing is everything and that’s why most communication protocols require a very accurate clock source. The WS2811 LED strip controllers are no different. But [Danny] figured out a way to driv… ...

For prototyping, Infineon has a RGB LED lighting control shield for Arduino, based around its ARM Cortex-M0 XMC1202 microcontroller. On board is something called a ‘brightness colour control unit’ ...
