Adafruit DotStar Digital LED Strip - White 30 LED - Per Meter 3m

Experience a new level of lighting with DotStar LED strips, the dynamic successor to NeoPixels. With a faster data rate using 2-wire SPI, these LEDs eliminate timing challenges and promise smoother, more vibrant displays.

Highlights include a high PWM refresh rate of 20 KHz, ensuring silky-smooth color blending at all brightness levels, perfect for creating captivating Persistence-of-Vision effects without flicker.

DotStars offer versatility across various processors like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and more. The separation of clock and data lines allows a broader range of control speeds up to 32MHz. Each LED provides 24-bit color control, delivering rich hues and brightness with precise accuracy.

Available in 30, 60, or 144 LEDs per meter on flexible white or black PCBs, these strips offer easy customization. Cut them to desired lengths at 3.4cm intervals, solder connections, or link strips seamlessly using the 4-pin JST connectors provided.

Weatherproof sheathing ensures durability, while 5V DC power supplies are essential for safe operation. Choices range from a 5V/2A supply for 1 meter to a robust 5V/10A supply supporting up to 10 meters, depending on application needs.

DotStar LED strips are sold by the meter, offering the flexibility to purchase in exact lengths needed, with complete reels for bulk. Explore tutorials for setup assistance, power calculations, and example code, enhancing your project execution.
