64 addressable RGB LEDs with power terminal
The ET-D08 is built around the 64 × WS2812B-2020 (2×2mm) addressable RGB, 24-bit colour, 800kHz. It runs from 5V; up to 0.77A 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
- Scrolling text and icons
- Games and animations
- Ambient lighting panels
