Quick question: can anyone tell me what these LEDs are?
I ordered a 60 per meter strip from adafruit, but I received these clearly NOT ws2812’s. They don’t seem to be working with the neopixel library (I know… Not your code)
Still kind of a noob to all of this led awesomeness. Please and thank you!
Ok, it’s working now. Silly mixup on the wires…
Still, why do these look different? Four contacts instead of six?
I am just out of my project cave and these look very similar to the WS2811s I am using. I went back and checked and the ones I am using are WS2812s. There are only four connections to the LED.
The WS2812B only needs four pins, VCC, GND, DIN,and DOUT. So yeah, that’s what you have there.
Thank you so much for the info guys!
Yes they do, but they must have switched without updating their product page. No one else seemed to notice, because there weren’t any posts on their forum about it.
I’m a fan of your guys work, and from reading your posts: I knew I would get an answer quickly.
They look exactly like my WS2812b
