Eight addressable RGB LEDs with a 3.3 V-safe input
The ET-D05 is built around the 8 × WS2812B-2020 (2×2mm) addressable RGB, 24-bit colour, 800kHz. It runs from 5V; up to 0.10A at full white (≈12mA per LED channel × 3).
Designed in Dubai by ElectroTrical — the full schematic, BOM and design notes are published below.
Good for
- Status bars and level meters
- Under-glow and case lighting
- Wearables
