This is a great collection of WS2812B RGB Addressable LED Modules in a straight PCB. WS2812B is an intelligent LED that includes the photo diode and an addressable controller chip both are available and integrated into a single 5050 Components package. The major advantages of these LEDs are that one can access each LEDs individually and control the light as each LEDs has a unique address. These small LEDs with merely a centimeter in diameter can be connected in a daisy chain manners and many numbers of LEDs can be connected.
This Straight LED PCB consists of 8 WS2812 LEDs. The pinout of this PCB is GND, VCC, Input, Output. The daisy chain connection will follow in a way that the Input of a strip will be the Output of previous strip.
