for NeoPixel Please check it out! Please note you will need a NeoPixel library with RGBW support which is not always available.
#3D CLOCK WITH LEDS CUTOUT ONE PIECE CODE#
We have a tutorial showing wiring, power usage calculations, example code for usage, etc. Of course, you can also connect strips together to make them longer, just watch how much current you need! We have a 5V/2A supply that should be able to drive 1 meter (depending on use) and a 5V/10A supply that can drive up to 4 meters (depending on use) You must use a 5V DC power supply to power these strips, do not use higher than 6V or you can destroy the entire strip. Solder to the 0.1" copper pads and you're good to go. You can cut this stuff pretty easily with wire cutters, there are cut-lines every 0.65"/1.7cm (1 LED each). The strip is made of flexible PCB material, and comes with a weatherproof sheathing. The PWM is built into each LED-chip so once you set the color you can stop talking to the strip and it will continue to PWM all the LEDs for you. Only 1 digital output pin are required to send data down. The LEDs are controlled by shift-registers that are chained up down the strip so you can shorten or lengthen the strip. You can set the brightness and color of each R/G/B/W with 8-bit PWM precision (so 32-bit color per pixel). NeoPixels are 5050-sized LEDs with an embedded microcontroller inside the LED. (we recommend DotStars if you can use them) In comparison, DotStars have a 20 KHz PWM rate, so even when moving the LED around, you won't see the pixelation, the blending is very smooth. On NeoPixels, the PWM rate is ~400 Hz, which works well but is noticable if the LED is moving.

NeoPixel LEDs use 800 KHz protocol so specific timing is required. Great for adding lots of colorful + white dots to your project! Lit up these are insanely bright (like ow my eye hurts) and can be controlled with 8-bit PWM per channel (8 x 4 channels = 32-bit color overall). The NeoPixel is 'split', one half is the RGB you know and love, the other half is a white LED with a yellow phosphor.

This is the 30 LED/m RGBW strip with a White Casing and White PCB! We also have RGBW NeoPixel strips of 60 LED/m and 144 LED/m. What is better than smart RGB LEDs? Smart RGB+White LEDs! These NeoPixels now have 4 LEDs in them (red, green, blue and white) for excellent lighting effects. These LED strips are fun and glowy, and you can control each LED individually!
