Availability: 100%, 24/7
Overview
This molecule is a 10-LED WS2812B addressable RGB LED strip with a single data input and output line, and a 5 V power supply. Each LED can be individually controlled via a 3.3 V or 5 V data signal, with DIN/DOUT and GND broken out to machine contacts for easy chaining and integration.

NSF Relevance
This molecule allows rapid prototyping of individually addressable lighting effects, animations, and visual feedback in electronic systems without needing to wire separate LEDs.
Integration Guide
To use WS2812 RGB LED Strip in your design:
- Download the schematic symbol and PCB footprint from the Files section
- Import into your EDA tool (KiCad or Fusion 360 / EAGLE)
- Place the molecule in your schematic and connect the interface pins
- Use the 3D model (.glb) for mechanical fit verification
