WWA White Pixels
What is better than smart LEDs? Smart WWA LEDs! WWA LEDs have 3 white LEDs in them in three tints (also known as 'color temperatures'): warm white, cool white and amber, great for excellent lighting effects that want pure white lite. These are fun and glowy, and you can control each LED individually, just like you do with traditional RGB LED NeoPixels.
Smart WWA LEDs use only one microcontroller pin to control as many as you can chain together, just like RGB NeoPixels! Each LED is addressable as the driver chip is inside the LED. Each one has ~12mA constant current drive so the color will be very consistent even if the voltage varies, and no external choke resistors are required making the design slim. Power the whole thing with 5VDC (4-6V works) and you're ready to rock.
Controlling WWA LEDs
WWA LEDs are code compatible with NeoPixel libraries. This means that any code you're used to writing in Arduino, CircuitPython, etc will work with WWA LEDs. The red, green and blue values correspond to the "color temperature" pixels inside of the WWA LEDs:
- Red value controls amber value
- Green value controls cool white value
- Blue value controls warm white value
For example, if you wanted to have only a cool white color temperature from your WWA pixels, you would set the "green" value in your code to 255 and the "red" and "blue" values to 0.
