Review on ALITOVE 100 Pieces WS2812B Addressable Arduino LEDs by Doug Daniels

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great way to get Neopixel experience on a breadboard and on a small scale.

Great things. They're easier to solder than you might expect. I've found that they allow the post connector pins to be soldered to them, making it easy to form a breadboard or chain together with the socket's wires. After a lot of reading and experimenting with the Raspberry Pi3 I found that they are very easy to use in a small chain with Python. More than one chain and big strings require a lot more work. Now we are ready to play at a higher level. A great use for this form factor could be to sacrifice the first pixel and a boost repeater/buffer from a 3.3v Pi. Very happy with this purchase.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
