Ks0163 keyestudio 40 RGB LED 2812 Pixel Matrix Shield

keyestudio 40 RGB LED 2812 Pixel Matrix Shield

Introduction

keyestudio 2812 shield adopts stackable design compatible with UNO board. It is an intelligent controlled LED light source that the control circuit and RGB chip are integrated in a 5050 SMD component. It includes intelligent digital port data latch and signal reshaping amplification drive circuit. Also includes a precision internal oscillator and a 12V programmable constant current control part, effectively ensuring the highly consistency of the pixel point light color.
The data transfer protocol uses single NZR communication mode. After the pixel power-on reset, the DI port receives data from controller, the first pixel collect initial 24bit data then sent to the internal data latch.
LED has the advantages of low driving voltage, environmental-friendly, energy saving high brightness, large scattering angle, good consistency, long life span, etc.

Specification of Single LED

Anti-reverse protection circuit, the reverse of power supply will not damage the internal IC of the LED.
IC control circuit and LED point light source uses the same power supply.
Control circuit and the RGB chip are integrated in a 5050 SMD component, forming a complete control of pixel point.
Built-in signal reshaping circuit, signals received will be wave-reshaped first and then output to the next driver, ensuring wave-form distortion to not accumulate.
Built-in power on reset circuit and power-down reset circuit.
Each pixel of the three primary color can achieve 256 brightness display, completed 16777216 color full color display, scan frequency no less than 400Hz/s.
Serial cascade interface, to complete the reception and decoding of data via a signal line.
When transmission distance between two arbitrary points is no more than five meters, no extra circuit needed.
When the refresh rate is 30fps, cascade number no less than 1024 points.
Data sending speed can reach 800Kbps.
The color of the light is highly consistent, cost-effective.

Advantages

LED with built-in IC is brighter than common LED
High consistency of RGB chips for all LEDs
Built-in driver IC with reliable performance.
Use hard plastic for packaging, preventing press damage.

Simple Hookup

Simply stack the shield on UNO BOARD,then connect them to your computer using a USB cable.

Sample Code

How to download and install the Arduino IDE and driver .
Or click here to download the code or directly copy the code below.
Click here to download the libraries
Note: Before compile the code, do remember to add the necessary libraries inside the libraries directory of Arduino IDE.

#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>
#ifdef __AVR__
#include <avr/power.h>
#endif

#define PIN 13

// Parameter 1 = number of pixels in strip
// Parameter 2 = Arduino pin number (most are valid)
// Parameter 3 = pixel type flags, add together as needed:
//   NEO_KHZ800  800 KHz bitstream (most NeoPixel products w/WS2812 LEDs)
//   NEO_KHZ400  400 KHz (classic 'v1' (not v2) FLORA pixels, WS2811 drivers)
//   NEO_GRB     Pixels are wired for GRB bitstream (most NeoPixel products)
//   NEO_RGB     Pixels are wired for RGB bitstream (v1 FLORA pixels, not v2)
Adafruit_NeoPixel strip = Adafruit_NeoPixel(40, PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);

// IMPORTANT: To reduce NeoPixel burnout risk, add 1000 uF capacitor across
// pixel power leads, add 300 - 500 Ohm resistor on first pixel's data input
// and minimize distance between Arduino and first pixel.  Avoid connecting
// on a live circuit...if you must, connect GND first.
