RGB LED ring (8 LEDs)
8 smart lights in every color
In your kit: 1×🔎 What is it?
A ring with 8 smart lights. Each light can be any color, and you control them all separately. With just one data wire! Super fun for light effects.
🔌 This is how you connect it
- DI (data in) to a pin, for example D6
- 5V to 5V
- GND to GND
- Leave DO loose (you can connect another ring after it)

💡 Tip
Do not set the brightness too high in the code. That is nicer for your eyes and for your Arduino.
