Description

This tiny breakout board allows us to easily connect several WS2812 RGB LEDs, and control them all using a single digital output pin from a microcontroller. The layout of these breakout boards was made so that it could easily be mounted on any solderless breadboard.

After soldering either breakaway male pin headers (e.g., 8-pin breakaway male header) or 20–28 AWG wires, we're ready to start controlling the mounted WS2812 RGB LED using our microcontroller of choice (e.g., the ATMega328p on the Arduino Uno development board). This breakout board allows us to get a quick start when using surface-mount WS2812 RGB LEDs!
