Description
WS2813 connector with power MOSFET and level shifter hack
- No level shifter IC needed to run Neopixels/WS2812/WS2813 from 3.3V microcontroller
- MOSFET to turn LED strip power on/off from a microcontroller GPIO pin
A SMD version of the WS2813 gets sacrificed to run at ~4.3V (powered through the diode), which makes it accept 3.3V data signals. The data signal it outputs can then be used to control WS2812/WS2813 LEDs running at 5V.
Pins:
- DIN: Connect directly to microcontroller GPIO (data pin)
- FET: Connect directly to microcontroller GPIO (turn MOSFET on/off)
- DO: Connect to WS2812/WS2813 DIN pin
- LGND: Connect to LED strip GND
- 5V: Connect to LED strip 5V
