Our new Flexible ZIP Strip has 50 individually addressable RGB LED’s on a 0.5m strip. Each LED can be controlled independently and all LEDs are connected using the same three wire bus.

Each LED can produce a full spectrum of colours independent to all of the other LEDs on the bus. Each ZIP LED has a Red, Green and Blue element within the LED, and each of these can achieve 256 levels of brightness. This results in 16,777,216 possible output colours. Multiple ZIP LEDs can be connected to produce longer strings/strips and if a smaller strip length is required the flexible ZIP Strips can be cut into shorter strips along the points marked on the strip.

    Answered by the admin Hi Brandon,

    Thank you for your question, it would depend as these LEDs must have a micro controller to be able to work the LEDs. You would have to cut one end off a USB lead and get and extra piece of wire. You would need the extra piece of wire to connect the pin on the micro controller and the data on the LEDs. Then twin the grounds for the micro controller and USB and have the positive wire go directly to the LEDs.

    Best Regards

    2. How do I power this when using the microbit without this servo:lite (which I don't have)? I have the 5 LED ZIP sticks, which have 1x5V and GND for the power supply and a data in and another GND that connects to the microbit. I have the 5 LED ZIP stick working off a 5V battery pack but how can I connect the long strip to 5V power and the microbit at the same time when it only has one GND?

    Answered by the admin Hi there,

    the best thing to do would be to power the micro:bit separately. Then connect the 5V positive to the 5V on the board.

    Connect a Pin from the micro:bit to the data on the LED strip.

    Then you would need to connect the GND on the micro:bit to the GND on the LED strip and also connect it to the negative wire form the 5V supply to the same pad, most likely by soldering two wires to that point.
    3. Hi,Possibly a stupid question, but are these 'powerable' simply from batteries? If so, what kind of voltage is required? Many thanks.

    Answered by the admin Hi Mark, The voltage range is between 3.5 and 5.3V, we have powered them from a 4.5V supply (3XAA batteries) which worked well.
