Addressable Digital LEDs have little chips inside of them making it possible to control them individually even with lots of them on a strip. Initially made popular by the WS2812b (Neopixel) LED chips now a days there are lots of variants you can buy. They all share in common that instead of an LED strip being a single color the individual LEDs can be controlled separately making all kinds of patterns and effects possible! This section of quinled.info will be all about Digitally Addressable LEDs, from controllers to LED strips to a matrix panel or “pixels” for your Christmas shows!
