Introduction:
In this project we will be Interfacing NeoPixel LED Strip WS2812B with Arduino for Rainbow Color. WS2812B is a intelligent control LED light source that the control circuit and RGB chip are integrated in a package of 5050 components. It internal include intelligent digital port data latch and signal reshaping amplification drive circuit. Also include a precision internal oscillator and a 12V voltage programmable constant current control part, effectively ensuring the pixel point light color height consistent.

The data transfer protocol uses a single NZR communication mode. After the pixel power-on reset, the DIN port receives data from the controller, the first pixel collects initial 24bit data then sent to the internal data latch, the other data which reshaping by the internal signal reshaping amplification circuit sent to the next cascade pixel through the DO port. After transmission for each pixel， the signal to reduce 24bit. pixel adopts auto reshaping transmit technology, making the pixel cascade number is not limited to the signal transmission, only depend on the speed of signal transmission. LED with low driving voltage, environmental protection, and energy-saving, high brightness, scattering angle is a large, good consistency, low power, long life, and other advantages. The control chip integrated into LED above becoming more simple circuit, small volume, convenient installation.
So, we will be Interfacing NeoPixel LED Strip WS2812B with Arduino programming language.
WS2812B Specification & Pin Details:
The specifications of the WS2812B are as follows:
1. Outer diameter: 36.8mm / 1.5″
2. Inner diameter: 23.3mm / 1″
3. Thickness: 6.7mm / 0.3″
4. Weight: 3.3g
5. May ship with either WS2812B or SK6812-based LEDs. They are the same brightness, color, and protocol.
Similarly, the pin details include:
1. VDD : +5V Power Supply LED
2. DOUT : Control Data Signal Output
3. VSS : Ground
4. DIN : Control Data Signal Input
Components Required
If you want to directly interface this WS2812B Module with Arduino you require these components
- Arduino Uno Board
- WS2812B Ring Module
But if you wish to reduce its cost and simply make the circuit cheaper you can use this same Arduino Prototype Circuit. For this, you require the following components.
- ATmega328 Microcontroller
- 16 Mhz Crystal Oscillator
- Ceramic Capacitors: C1=C2= 22pF
- Electrolytic Capacitors: 10uF/63V
- Resistors: R1=100E, R2=1M
- Tactile Switch
- WS2812 Ring Module/ Neo Pixel LED/ WS2811 LED Strip
