The mLink WS2812 LED driver is a serial (I2C) module intended for driving WS2812 5V RGB LEDs. It is capable of independently controlling up to 200 LEDs via the WS2812s serial interface.

The module is capable of generating the precise timings required by these LEDs and its 200 LED buffer can store the individual RGB state of each LED in full 24 bit colour. This removes the memory and processing requirements of the host microcontroller which is especially useful for low power 8-bit microcontrollers with limited amounts of RAM and processing power.

Jason ★★★★★

It drove all 200 LEDs without a single flicker on my first try, which never happens with my usual setups. The I2C interface is genuinely plug-and-play if you’ve got a breadboard handy.

Harper ★★★★★

The I2C interface made wiring this up a breeze with my microcontroller, and the fact it handles up to 200 LEDs means I’ve got plenty of headroom for future upgrades. Once I got the serial commands sorted, the response was instant and flicker-free. Exactly what I needed for my project.

Richard I. ★★★★★

Setup took me maybe ten minutes, and the I2C interface is a breeze once you find the pins. I've got 150 LEDs chained on it and the serial control stays rock solid with no flicker, even during fast color sweeps.
