Big Chainable LED

Big Chainable LED

Output Digital

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)
