WS2815 Pixel LEDs Protocol Overview

 Pixel Protocol Overview: WS2815 This pixel protocol was designed by Newstar in China. WS2815 offers many of the benefits the WS28xx series is famous for. It uses 12V as its main power input for each chip, VDD, which is then dropped down to 5V inside each pixel for its logic requirements. This allows longer chains of pixels to driven in series, making it one of the most common protocols for pixel lighting displays. The control circuit and LEDs are integrated [...]
