Crowtail- RGB-LED

Description


The Crowtail- RGB-LED module with 4 pcs of WS2812B which is a Chainable & Addressable LED. Users can control all the LED with only one microcontroller pin! Besides, the LED bar can be also chainable, that is, you can connect more than one LED bar together to make your project more dreamful. In this module , you can control every LED whit different color at the same time.

Model: CT0028RL

Usage


1.Hardware connection

Connect the Crowtail- RGB-LED to D5.

2.Connect the board to PC using USB cable.

3.Download the library RGB-LED library;Unzip it into the libraries file of Arduino IDE by the path: ..\arduino-1.0.1\libraries.

4.Open the code directly by the path:File -> Example ->Adafruit_NeoPixel->strandtest.

#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>
#define PIN 5

// Parameter 1 = number of pixels in strip
// Parameter 2 = pin number (most are valid)
// Parameter 3 = pixel type flags, add together as needed:
//   NEO_KHZ800  800 KHz bitstream (most NeoPixel products w/WS2812 LEDs)
//   NEO_KHZ400  400 KHz (classic 'v1' (not v2) FLORA pixels, WS2811 drivers)
//   NEO_GRB     Pixels are wired for GRB bitstream (most NeoPixel products)
//   NEO_RGB     Pixels are wired for RGB bitstream (v1 FLORA pixels, not v2)
Adafruit_NeoPixel strip = Adafruit_NeoPixel(60, PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);

void setup() {
 strip.begin();
 strip.show(); // Initialize all pixels to 'off'
}

void loop() {
 // Some example procedures showing how to display to the pixels:

 colorWipe(strip.Color(0, 255, 0), 50); // Green
 colorWipe(strip.Color(0, 0, 255), 50); // Blue
 // Send a theater pixel chase in...
 theaterChase(strip.Color(127, 127, 127), 50); // White
 theaterChase(strip.Color(127,   0,   0), 50); // Red
