This is a high quality "BTF Lighting" brand LED matrix with 16 x 16 RGB WS2812B 5050 LEDs. It is a low cost, quality alternative for NeoPixel LED Matrix displays.
Each LED has a built-in controller chip that allows you to daisy-chain the LEDs and control them individually from a single GPIO pin. These LEDs require a WS2812B controller to control each individual LED. There are a lot of online examples for doing this, for example using the S2812B Arduino Library.
IMPORTANT
- ONLY power with 5V DC. A higher voltage will DESTROY the LEDs!
- The LED panel comes without a power supply and controller
- Ensure the power supply can provide sufficient power(Amp). Else the voltage will drop below 5V, and the panel will not work.
