Adafruit DotStar Digital LED Strip - White 30 LED - Per Meter 2m

Experience the advanced capabilities of DotStar LED strips, a leap beyond traditional NeoPixel strips. Utilizing generic 2-wire SPI, these LED strips allow for faster data transmission without specific timing constraints and offer superior PWM refresh rates to minimize flickering, even at low brightness.

Each DotStar LED, with its embedded microcontroller, supports 24-bit color, offering vibrant, customizable lighting solutions. Their construction allows seamless chaining for endless LED control, while the built-in PWM enables consistent lighting once set.

Distinctive with their clock and data separation, DotStars require two pins, facilitating compatibility with various microcontrollers such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi. The flexibility extends further with porting libraries, supporting data rates up to 32MHz.

Boasting a 20 KHz PWM rate, DotStars excel in eliminating pixelation during motion, ensuring smooth color blending. Available in 30, 60, and 144 LEDs per meter on flexible white or black PCBs, they include weatherproof sheathing for durability and easy customization with cut-lines every 1.3 inches.

Power them safely with a 5V DC power supply and connect seamlessly with provided 4-pin JST SM connectors. Explore endless possibilities with variable power supply options to handle lengths up to 10 meters effectively. Refer to our comprehensive tutorial for detailed wiring instructions and example codes.
