Arduino ABX00109 Modulino Pixels Addressable RGB LED Driver Module

Drive WS2812B-compatible addressable RGB LEDs with the Arduino Modulino Pixels module, delivering 24-bit colour depth and smooth animations via a single-wire protocol.

Overview

The Arduino Modulino Pixels (ABX00109) is a compact expansion module for the Modulino platform, designed to control addressable RGB LED strips such as NeoPixel. It connects directly to a Modulino baseboard through the standard connector and provides a 3-pin header (Data, VCC, GND) for the LED strip. The module operates at 3.3V logic and is powered via the baseboard, making it ideal for visual indicators, lighting effects, and educational projects.

What stands out

• Supports WS2812B-compatible LEDs (e.g., NeoPixel) for vibrant, individually addressable lighting.
• 24-bit RGB colour depth (8 bits per channel) enables millions of colours.
• High-speed single-wire data transfer ensures smooth animations without flicker.
• Integrated ESD protection safeguards the module during handling.
• Plug-and-play with Arduino Modulino baseboard—no soldering required.
