The TM1814 LEDs we've been looking at this week require an inverted NeoPixel-like signal. While it's not too hard to make a custom library to deal with the prefix bytes, the inversion is a little annoying since you'd have to rewrite a lot of assembly. So, for our level shifter board we designed, let's also add an inverter: It will use 5V power and …

More! We got a set of weatherproof cafe lights with RGBW LEDs for a 'pure' white color light. However, they don't use the WS281x chipset for the control signal. Instead, it's TM1814, which is kind of similar but has a few key differences. One is you have to send an 8-byte 'global brightness' setting to start, and then you have to continuously send …

These cafe lights come with WS2811s inside. Power them with 12V, and you can send them 5V NeoPixel signals to light up individual 3 RGB LEDs inside for a nice, bright outdoor look. They're weatherproof and even come with a weatherproof connector, so they'll survive outdoor installation. They'll work great in Arduino, CircuitPython, or WLED. We're e…
