Microduino Sensor Color LED

Bring vivid, customizable illumination to your builds with the Microduino Sensor Color LED. A built-in WS2812 chip lets this small unit display an impressive 16 million shades through 256-level adjustment, making it perfect for soft glows, status signals, and eye-catching visual effects.

Control is refreshingly simple: thanks to a serial cascade protocol, a single I/O pin drives the whole strip, and you can link up to 1024 units in one continuous line for large synchronized displays. With scanning at 400Hz or higher and a refresh rate of at least 30 frames per second, animations stay smooth and flicker-free.

As the image shows, the piece features a clean white finish with COLOR LED printed on its surface and the signature mCookie form factor, complete with a 4-pin interface. Measuring just 23.5 x 13mm and running on 5V, it pairs seamlessly with the Arduino IDE and the stackable mCookie ecosystem, making it an ideal pick for STEM activities, personal creations, and one-of-a-kind glowing gadgets.
