LED Strip Module for Yukon

by Pimoroni

Drive WS2812/Neopixel and APA102/Dotstar addressable RGB LED strips from your Pimoroni Yukon project with this 5V / 5A regulator with level-shifting.

Connect the data-in end of your addressable LED strip up to the module's convenient screw terminals to add colour to your project.

We used this module and some Neon-like RGB LED strip to equip our remote controlled rover with some light-up bling! 🌈

LED strips and connectors are sold separately.

Features

  • Compatible with 5V WS2812/Neopixel/SK6812 and APA102/Dotstar/SK9822 LEDs
  • Screw terminals for attaching your LED strip
  • TPS54A24 step-down converter (datasheet)
  • Fixed 5V output
  • 5A continuous current (10A peak)
  • 5V level-shifted clock and data
  • Temperature and power good sensors
  • Fully-assembled (no soldering required)
  • Compatible with Pimoroni Yukon

Software

You can find examples to help you get started driving addressable LED strips with Yukon below, as well as our showcase example for the remote-controlled rover.

Pinout and Schematic

Notes

  • Measurements: 24mm x 20mm x 13.7mm (L x W x H).
  • Two WS2812 strips can be driven off one module, by wiring one strip's data line to the DAT line as normal, and the other to the CLK line. Sneaky!
  • A maximum of 8 LED strips are supported by Yukon across all modules. Each strip uses a PIO state machine of the RP2040.

About Yukon

Yukon is a high-power modular robotics and engineering platform, built around Raspberry Pi's formidable RP2040 chip. It has slots for attaching interchangeable hardware modules for driving combinations of devices such as motors, servos, steppers, and LED strips, all from one board!

Featuring an XT30 connector, Yukon can be directly powered off 2 to 4 cell LiPo batteries (or any other 5 to 17V source), to deliver up to 15A continuous for your high-power projects. An e-Fuse with switchable output protects the board, along with voltage, current, and temperature sensors that can be monitored by your programs.

Simply the best and most powerful MCU on the hobbiest market at the moment. Even the arduino setup works out of the box. So far I've tested I2C, SPI, Audio, USB audio, Rotary Encoder and SDIO card libs - all work flawlessly and fantastically well. Running some audio spectrum processing the Arm CMSIS libs for a 4096 FFT takes around 412us (0.4ms) including mag squared calcultions and all the various buffer copies - amazing stuff!

As someone dealing with microcontrollers for the first time the teensy is excellent. Incredible performance for the size and while it doesn't have a massive community the examples that are part of the ide are really detailed.

Got one as soon as they were back in stock. Arrived quickly and well packaged. Couldn’t be happier with this amazing board/service!

Nice little board with quite a bit of juice and a lot of connection options. Really nice that you can use it as a USB host, and that it has pinouts for ethernet too. Haven't tested all the stuff it can do, as I mainly use mine to run a DirtyWave M8 tracker/synth.

Fast delivery & well packaged. Using the Teensy 4.1 to run the "headless" version of the M8 tracking software - works great and setup was way easier than I expected.

I have soldered on the pins, and its running on my breadboard. I probably have not yet accessed 1 per cent of what this fantastic little board can do... I'm using Visual Studio Code with PlatformIO, all seems good so far....

Absolutely wonderful card. Incredibly fast and stable. Lots of RAM and lots of flash memory. It is also possible to expand both RAM and flash by soldering circuits on the underside of the card. With good code examples and a content-rich forum. Works well to write code in both Arduino and Visual Studio. I really love this circuit

This is a high end microcontroller. The USB host interface works very well with some good examples in the library. You can solder two PSram chips on the bottom for a Whopping 16GB of ram!!

So far the board works and powers on. I'm yet to use other features on it but Very excited. Order was quick and will use this website more often
