30mm Dots - 12V Digital RGB LED Pixels (Strand of 20)
RGB Pixels are digitally-controllable lights you can set to any color, or animate. Each round 'pixel cluster' contains 3 RGB LEDs and a controller chip soldered to a PCB. The pixel is then encased in a translucent white 'dot' to make it weatherproof.
Pinout
- +12VDC
Positive 12 V supply conductor for the WS2801 pixel strand; Adafruit states the 4-conductor cable has +12VDC, ground, data and clock.
Type · powerVoltage · 12V DC - GND
Ground conductor in the 4-conductor pixel cable; power wires are brought out separately for wiring to a DC supply.
Type · groundVoltage · 0V - DATA
Serial data input/control conductor; Adafruit states data is shifted down from one pixel to the next and can be driven from a microcontroller digital pin.
Type · signal - CLOCK
Clock input/control conductor for the WS2801 pixels; Adafruit states the pixels are clocked by a microcontroller and the cable includes data and clock.
