The Little Bird Lorikeet is an amazing RGB LED strip featuring 5 programmable LEDs. Crafted in Australia, this board utilizes the renowned WS2812B LEDs, also known as NeoPixels. It comes in the form of a Raspberry Pi HAT with a chain - able design. This means you can easily connect multiple modules of these RGB LEDs to expand the scale of your project. You only need a single micro - controller pin (such as on Arduino, Micro:bit, or Raspberry Pi Pico) to control as many LEDs as you can chain together! Each RGB LED on the Raspberry Pi is addressable because it has an in - built driver chip. With a 18mA constant current drive, the color remains very consistent even when the voltage fluctuates. The Lorikeet is also compatible with Adafruit NeoPixel Libraries. If you're unsure where to start, check out our guides on using the Lorikeet with Arduino. You can also learn to build a temperature indicator with it and the Raspberry Pi Pico. This product is locally made in Sydney, Australia! It includes 1x Little Bird Lorikeet RGB LED Strip. Specifications: 5V input voltage, WS2812B (datasheet) - RGB LED, Single Wire Serial, 2x 3 pin header, Dimensions: 9mm (width) x 65mm (height) x 5mm (depth).
Using the Little Bird Lorikeet is a breeze. First, connect the board to your micro - controller using a single pin. You can choose from Arduino, Micro:bit, or Raspberry Pi Pico. If you want to make your project bigger, just chain multiple LED modules together. Each LED is addressable, so you can control them individually. When it comes to programming, you can use the Adafruit NeoPixel Libraries. If you're new to this, our guides on using the Lorikeet with Arduino can give you a great start. You can even build a temperature indicator with the Raspberry Pi Pico. As for maintenance, keep the board in a dry place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. The board operates on a 5V input voltage, so make sure your power source is compatible. If you encounter any issues, refer to the datasheet of the WS2812B RGB LEDs.
