Description:
RGB Pixels are digitally-controllable lights you can set to any color, or animate. Each RGB LED and controller chip is molded into a 'dot' of silicone. The dots are waterproof and rugged. There are four flanges molded in so that you can 'push' them into a 6mm drill hole in any material up to 1.5mm/0.06" thick. They're typically used to make outdoor signs
Each dot is digitally controlled, with an internal 8-bit PWM LED driver (24-bit color for 16 million different shades). The pixels must be clocked by a microcontroller, we have an example code linked below that works on an Arduino, it should be simple to adapt it to any other microcontroller.
The pixels use 5mm diffused RGB LEDs, with a 120 degree beam width. The total max brightness of all LEDs is about 1600mcd but with the light more evenly distributed & mixed than a clear LED
6mm diameter (0.45") 23mm deep (1.5")
100mm
50 pieces per strand
These pixels use a WS2801 chip for full 24 bit color
5V power, 60mA maximum per pixel (LED on full white)
2-pin SPI-like protocol
APA106 the chip inside each pixel
Brightness: Red = 3.3 Lumens/300 mcd, Green = 10 Lumens/1000 mcd, Blue = 2.7 Lumens/300 mcd (mcd calculation based on full 120 degree beam)
