NLED Pixel Data Extender

Converts 1-wire data signals for asynchronous addressable LED pixels into a 2-wire differential pair, which significantly improves signal reliability and allows the data to be transmitted up to 1000'. Great for projects that require long distances between addressable pixels and/or needs to be reliable with no glitchs or signal issues. This device is a set of two tiny modules, one for transmission(TX) and one for reception(RX). The data signal output from a pixel controller is connected to the TX module, along with 5-12 volt power. 3 wires are connected from the TX module to the RX module. The RX module converts the signal back to the standard 1-wire data signal that can be directly connected to a pixel strip. These modules are extremly tiny, designed to be small enough to solder directly onto standard 10mm wide LED pixel strip. Or can be connected inline by adding wire leads or JST connectors.

Pixel Power Injection Board

This passive device is used to easily inject DC power into a string or strand of LED pixels. It supports both 3-wire(asynchronous) type pixels such as WS2811, WS2812, etc. And 4-wire(synchronous) type pixels such as WS2801, LPD8806, APA102. There are two methods of connecting them to a power supply, screw down terminals for stripped wires, or a the standard 5.5mm x 2.1mm barrel jack. The screw down terminals support up to 15 amps input, and the barrel receptacle supports up to 5 amp input. The device runs on a wide voltage range of 3.3v to 24v.
