Seeed Studio Grove - RGB LED Ring (20 - WS2813 Mini)
Grove - RGB LED Ring (20 - WS2813 Mini) is integrated with 20 full-color RGB LEDs with 2KHz refresh frequency, and Each pixel gray levels are 256 on the stick. All the LEDs are WS2813 Mini, which is an intelligent control and high cost-effective LED. The Grove - RGB LED Ring is a mini version of the WS2813 Digital RGB LED Ring. The RGB LED Ring are 3535-sized LEDs with an embedded microcontroller inside the LED. The WS2813s are each addressable as the driver chip is located inside the LED. Each LED has a constrant current drive so the color will be very consistent even if the change of voltage.
The WS2813B-Mini intelligent control LED is an upgraded version of WS2812B, the control circuit and RGB chip are integrated into a package of 3535 components. With the help of the built-in control circuit, each LED is addressable. So you can control the lighting and color of specific LED lights as you like, creating endless lighting effects. A significant advantage of WS2813B-Mini compared to traditional LED is the support for signal break-point continuous transmission. This means that even if one or two LEDs are damaged, the entire LED ring will still work properly.
Each LED is chainable and we also keep the chainable pads on the back of the LED rings, so you can cascade several LED rings to make it even cooler. Since all those Grove - RGB LED Rings are based on WS2813 Mini, you can also connect the rings of different diameters together.
What is Grove？
We have developed more than 400 Grove modules, covering a wide range of applications that can fulfill various needs. Click to explore the Grove Sensor family and get started to Grove your Idea. For all Grove users (especially beginners), we provide you with guidance PDF documents. Please download and read through Preface - Getting Started and Introduction to Grove before your use of the product.
As long as no two or more adjacent LEDs are broken, the remaining LEDs will be able to work normally.
Here is an example project using different sensors and Grove - RGB LED Ring.
Features
- Full color RGB: 16777216 colors, 256 levels of brightness, 20 LEDs beads operate independently
- Multi-Components combination: Built-in control circuit in a 3535 components
- Chainable: It can be cascaded with multiple LED rings
- Breakpoint Resume: In the transmission of dual-signal wires, when a LED or LED group fails, it will not cause the other LED not to light up.
- Grove Compatible: you can plug your LED ring into Seeedunio or Arduino+BaseShild via Grove Cable, with no soldering and complicated wiring.

Important Notice:
- Inventory Status: Please check the inventory status on the product page. Our system displays real-time stock for our Munich and Long Beach warehouses. If an item is out of stock in these locations, it will be marked as "Pre-order". You can still place an order for these items.
- Pre-order Fulfillment: For "Pre-order" items, we arrange the most efficient logistics solution to ensure you receive your goods as quickly as possible. Your package may be shipped directly from our Shenzhen warehouse. Alternatively, as part of our standard restocking process, we may transport the goods to our Munich or Long Beach warehouse first (typically taking 5-10 business days) before dispatching them to you.
- Split Shipments: If your order contains both in-stock and Pre-order items, we will prioritize shipping the in-stock items from the local warehouse immediately. The remaining Pre-order items will be sent to you in a separate shipment once they are ready.
3. International Warehouse
Our products are stored in our Munich, Long Beach, and Shenzhen warehouses to provide more flexible logistics solutions tailored to different regions and customer needs. On each product's description page, we indicate the specific warehouse location to help you better plan your purchase and delivery schedule.
