NeoPixel FlexMatrix 8x8 - 64 WS2812B RGB LED

This NeoPixel RGB LED Matrix features 64 small RGB LEDs (4.9x4.9mm). The LEDs are already mounted on a flexible PCB board. Multiple NeoPixels can be connected sequentially and each LED can easily be controlled via a microcontroller, e.g. Arduino UNO, Mega, Nano, etc., through a single output. There are also many programming examples, just search for NeoPixel or Fastled. We recommend connecting an additional 3300 µF capacitor between GND and 5V to guarantee a stable voltage supply and thus prolong the life of the LEDs.

 Info: If you want to operate the WS2812B Matrix with a 3.3V microcontroller like the ESP8266 or ESP32, you will need a "Logic Level Converter".
