Flexible RGB+W LED Strip (1 metre)

These individually-addressable (NeoPixel compatible) RGBW LED strips are great for all sorts of uses: custom desk lighting, music or data visualisation (an LED thermometer?), or art installations. They come in three different pixel-spacings.

Addressable LEDs, like these NeoPixel-compatible ones, let you individually set each LED in the chain to a specific RGB (or RGBW—red, green, blue, white—in this case) colour. You can use a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, micro:bit, or other microcontroller to code them, and there are tonnes of different Python, MicroPython (or CircuitPython), Arduino, and more code libraries available.

The extra warm white LED in these strips lets you set them to a nicer pure white colour, or to mix in white with the other RGB colours for lovely pastel hues.

These LED strips come in three different spacings—30 , 60, or 144 pixels per metre—and in metre lengths, so if you order a quantity of 1 then you'll get 1 metre, a quantity of 2 is 2 metres, and so on...

Please note!  Our 30 and 60 pixel per metre LED strips come on 5m reels. If you order less than 5m you'll get a partial reel - this means you're not guaranteed to get a connector on the data in end. We sell suitable solder and no-solder connectors separately - check out the extras tab! The 144 pixels per metre strips come ready-made in 1 metre lengths, so you'll always get a connector on both ends of those strips.

The strips come with a flexible silicone waterproof sleeve, but this can be easily removed, if you like. If your metre length doesn't have a connector on one or other end, then you can use a little blob of hot glue or silicone sealant to seal the flexible sleeve.

The wires are as follows:

  • Red: 5V
  • Green: data
  • White: ground

Why not try it with Yukon?

Looking for a controller for your project? Yukon is a high-power modular robotics and engineering platform, built around RP2040 and designed to drive the most ambitious robots, props and devices.

Yukon is a standalone controller that can be equipped with up to six interchangeable modules capable of driving high-powered hardware - this is made possible by the unique pin capabilities of Raspberry Pi's multitalented RP2040 chip. This flexibility means you can drive many unique combinations of motors, servos, steppers, speakers, LED strips and more, all from a single Yukon host!

Used with the breakout garden. Works perfectly with the provided python library, just make sure to remove the film over the sensor! Within minutes you can start measuring distances and have them update live using the provided examples.

This little sensor works brilliantly. There's a lot of supporting code for it. The way the pins are staggered makes soldering easy. Just remember to remove the protective film! perhaps the one thing that it could change would be to breakout the XSHUT pin somewhere - on the side so it keeps the breakout garden profile.

This thing is pretty neat and fast to respond. It does have issues if there is nothing in its path, as it will randomly jump to something very close, when in fact there is nothing there at all. But if you have something within its range, it detects changes very well.
