Briefly introduced: Digital (individually addressable) RGB LED strip based on the WS2811 controller and the 5050 LED

The presented RGB Strip is equipped compared to “normal” strips with the property of being able to control each LED individually, which means that not only one color can be displayed simultaneously on the strip, but even complete color transitions at the same time.
