Big Chainable LED
This is the big brother module of the chainable led, you can even use the original Neopixel library! It is a 12W neopixel with extra white chip for accurate color reproduction. It uses the UCS2904B chip to toggle the channels.
Each Big Chainable LED module requires 12v power and can draw up to 4 Amps.
Chaining multiple is possible, but make sure you get a power supply that can deliver that amount of power and dont chain more than 5 units.
Required Libraries
Standard Neopixel library
Basic Usage
A simple example of turning a single LED module red, green, blue and white.
# --- Imports
import time
import board
import neopixel
# --- Variables
pin_leds = board.D13
num_leds = 1
leds = neopixel.NeoPixel(pin_leds, num_leds, auto_write=False, pixel_order=neopixel.GRBW)
# --- Functions
# --- Setup
leds.fill(0) # turn off all LEDs
leds.show()
# --- Main loop
while True:
leds[0] = (255, 0, 0, 0) # red
leds.show()
time.sleep(2)
leds[0] = (0, 255, 0, 0) # green
leds.show()
time.sleep(2)
leds[0] = (0, 0, 255, 0) # blue
leds.show()
time.sleep(2)
leds.fill((0, 0, 0, 255)) # white
leds.show()
time.sleep(2)
leds.fill((0, 0, 0, 0)) # off
leds.show()
time.sleep(2)
