Product Description

WS2812B RGB LED Flexible 8x32 Pixel Panel Matrix Screen

Individually Addressable LED Display Module

The WS2812B RGB LED Flexible 8x32 Pixel Panel is a highquality, individually addressable LED matrix featuring 256 bright RGB LEDs in an 8x32 arrangement. Each LED contains a builtin WS2812B control IC, allowing independent color and brightness control of every pixel. Perfect for creating stunning displays, animations, scrolling text, and visual effects with Arduino, ESP32, and other microcontrollers.

256 individually addressable LEDs in 8x32 matrix
Requires DC 5V power supply - calculate current needs
Maximum current: 256 x 60mA = 15.36A at full white brightness

> Connect VCC to 5V power supply

Use external power supply for full brightness
Do NOT power from Arduino 5V pin - insufficient current

Quick Setup Guide

  1. *Connect Power* - Connect 5V supply to VCC and GND
  2. *Connect Data* - Connect DIN pin to Arduino/ESP data pin
  3. *Install Library* - Download FastLED or Adafruit_NeoPixel
  4. *Upload Code* - Use provided test code below
  5. *Verify Matrix* - Check LED addressing and orientation
Provide ample power for full brightness operation
Use level shifter if microcontroller is 3.3V (ESP32, Raspberry Pi)
Check power supply capacity before powering on
