Take total control of your addressable lighting without needing a motherboard software suite or a complex microcontroller setup. This compact, USB-powered inline controller is the ultimate plug-and-play solution for driving 3-pin 5V addressable RGB (ARGB) LED strips, rings, and matrices.
Simply connect the controller to any standard 5V USB power source (such as a PC port, power bank, or phone charger), plug in your ARGB hardware, and immediately toggle through dozens of dynamic color effects using the tactile onboard buttons.
Features
- Plug-and-Play Simplicity: Powered directly by a standard 5V USB Type-A connection. No coding, flashing firmware, or driver installations required.
- Universal 3-Pin Compatibility: Features a standard 3-pin JST/SM style addressable connector, making it natively compatible with WS2812B, SK6812, WS2811, and standard PC ARGB ecosystem components.
- Onboard Mode Toggles: Three tactile inline buttons allow you to seamlessly cycle through dynamic modes (rainbow chases, fades, breathing pulses, solid colors), adjust effect speeds, and fine-tune overall brightness levels.
- Compact Inline Profile: The lightweight, low-profile design tucks away neatly behind PC monitors, under desks, or inside custom enclosures without adding cable clutter.
Specifications
- Input Voltage: 5V DC (via USB Type-A)
- Output Voltage: 5V DC
- Supported ICs: WS2812B, WS2811, SK6812, and similar 3-pin digital logic protocols
- Interface Type: 3-Pin Female Connector (+5V, Data, GND)
- Max Load Capacity: Drives up to 100–150 pixels smoothly depending on the amperage output of your USB host port (Recommended: Use a 2A or greater USB wall brick for longer strips).

Add an ear to your project with this well-designed electret microphone amplifier. This fully assembled and tested board comes with a 20-20KHz electret microphone soldered on. For the amplification, we use the Maxim MAX4466, an op-amp specifically designed for this delicate task! The amplifier has excellent power supply noise rejection, so this amplifier sounds really good and isn't nearly as noisy or scratchy as other mic amp breakouts we've tried!
This breakout is best used for projects such as voice changers, audio recording and audio-reactive projects that use FFT. On the back, we include a small trimmer pot to adjust the gain. You can set the gain from 25x to 125x. That's down to be about 200mVpp (for normal speaking volume about 6" away) which is good for attaching to something that expects 'line level' input without clipping, or up to about 1Vpp, ideal for reading from a microcontroller ADC. The output is rail-to-rail so if the sounds gets loud, the output can go up to 5Vpp!

Using it is simple
Connect GND to ground, VCC to 2.4-5VDC.
For the best performance, use the "quietest" supply available (on an for Arduino, this would be the 3.3V supply). The audio waveform will come out of the OUT pin. The output will have a DC bias of VCC/2 so when its perfectly quiet, the voltage will be a steady VCC/2 volts (it is DC coupled). If the audio equipment you're using requires AC coupled audio, place a 100uF capacitor between the output pin and the input of your device. If you're connecting to an audio amplifier that has differential inputs or includes decoupling capacitors, the 100uF cap is not required. The output pin is not designed to drive speakers or anything but the smallest in-ear headphones- you'll need an audio amplifier (such as 3.7W stereo amp) if you want to connect the amp directly to speakers. If you're connecting to a microcontroller pin, you don't need an amplifier or decoupling capacitor - connect the OUT pin directly to the microcontroller ADC pin. For audio-reactive projects, we suggest using an FFT driver library which can take the audio input and 'translate' it into frequencies.
This is the most affordable camera module available in the market! It is custom-designed to be used with Raspberry Pi single-board computers.
In the example above the camera is connected to a Raspberry Pi 3(Raspberry Pi is not included)
This camera module is compatible with:
The board itself is tiny, at around 25mm x 20mm x 9mm. It also weighs just over 3 grams, making it perfect for mobile or other applications where size and weight are important. The camera is connected to the CPU on the Raspberry Pi via the CSI bus. This bus travels along the cable (FFC - Flexible Flat Cable) that attaches the camera board to the Pi.
The sensor itself has a native resolution of 5 megapixels and has a fixed focus lens onboard. In terms of still images, the camera is capable of 2592 x 1944 pixel static images and also supports 1080p @ 30fps, 720p @ 60fps, and 640x480p 60/90 video.
