Product Details
Quantity	3.3' (1m) WS2801 LED strip (32 LEDs & 32 WS2801 ICs)

Technical Details
WS2801 Datasheet
Applications	LED lighting, displays

Product Information
Not your average RGB LED strip! Not only are these fully waterproofed, but each LED is also independently addressable, opening up entirely new lighting possibilities. Each LED is powered by an WS2801 IC. This is not average waterproofing, either. It is fully IP68 rated--the strips are covered with a flexible silicon jacket and then filled with epoxy. This ensure that your strips can be used in nearly any environment for years to come! Each end of the strip has 4 tinned wire leads: Red=5V DC Green=Clock Yellow=Data Black=Ground For you Arduino users we highly recommend the open-source fastspi library as jumping point for your own code. The WS2801 employs a 2-wire serial data connection, similar to SPI or I2C. ICs are chained together which means whole strings can be controlled using just 2 pins on your microcontroller. Data is clocked in starting with the MSB of the red gray scale data and ending with the LSB of the blue gray scale data. See picture below for details. There is plenty more information available in the datasheet.
