WS2812 RGB LED Ring

Description


This is a RGB LED ring with 16 pcs of WS2812 Chainable& Addressable LED. Users can control all the LED with only one microcontroller pin! Besides, the LED Ring can be also chainable, that is, you can connect more the one ring together to make your project more dreamful.

Model:DLC2812RLR

  • Out Diameter: 61 mm

Usage


1.Hardware connection

2.Connect the board to PC using USB cable.

3.Download the library WS2812 RGB LED Ring library;Unzip it into the libraries file of Arduino IDE by the path: ..\arduino-1.0.1\libraries.

4.Open the code directly by the path:File -> Example ->Adafruit_NeoPixel->strandtest.

#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>
#define PIN 5

// Parameter 1 = number of pixels in strip
// Parameter 2 = pin number (most are valid)
// Parameter 3 = pixel type flags, add together as needed:
//   NEO_KHZ800  800 KHz bitstream (most NeoPixel products w/WS2812 LEDs)
//   NEO_KHZ400  400 KHz (classic 'v1' (not v2) FLORA pixels, WS2811 drivers)
//   NEO_GRB     Pixels are wired for GRB bitstream (most NeoPixel products)
//   NEO_RGB     Pixels are wired for RGB bitstream (v1 FLORA pixels, not v2)
Adafruit_NeoPixel strip = Adafruit_NeoPixel(60, PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);

void setup() {
 strip.begin();
 strip.show(); // Initialize all pixels to 'off'
}

 colorWipe(strip.Color(0, 255, 0), 50); // Green
 colorWipe(strip.Color(0, 0, 255), 50); // Blue
 // Send a theater pixel chase in...
 theaterChase(strip.Color(127, 127, 127), 50); // White
 theaterChase(strip.Color(127,   0,   0), 50); // Red
 theaterChase(strip.Color(  0,   0, 127), 50); // Blue
