Project 14:4 WS2812 RGB LEDs

1. Description

The driver shield cooperates 4 pcs WS2812 RGB LEDs, compatible with micro:bit board and controlled by P7. In this lesson, we will make the RGB LEDs display different colors by P7. In this lesson, 3 sets of test code are provided to make the 4 WS2812 RGB LEDs display different effects.

2. Preparation

  • Insert the micro:bit board into the slot of keyestudio 4WD Mecanum Robot Car V2.0

  • Place batteries into battery holder

  • Dial power switch to ON end

  • Connect the micro:bit to your computer via an USB cable

  • Open the Web version of Makecode.
