DotStar LED strips offer significant improvements over traditional NeoPixel strips, providing faster data transfer through generic 2-wire SPI and eliminating specific timing requirements. Their high PWM refresh rates allow for superior Persistence-of-Vision effects with minimal flickering, even at low brightness levels.
Each DotStar LED, equipped with an embedded microcontroller, supports 24-bit color control. This makes them ideal for crafting intricate lighting options, offering smooth color transitions owing to the 20 KHz PWM rate. Flexible and length-adjustable, these strips come with convenient cut-lines and can be extended or shortened as needed.
With versatile compatibility, DotStar LEDs are perfect for various microcontrollers such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and more. Operating at up to 32MHz clock rates, they promise seamless performance. Ideal for innovative lighting designs or interactive displays, these strips are easy to integrate into any project.
Available in diverse configurations, the strips come on white or black flexible PCB, with densities of 30, 60, and 144 LEDs per meter. Protective sheathing ensures durability, while the strips are easily powered by suitable 5V DC supplies, driving meters of LEDs with minimal fuss.
