This RGB LED HAT adds a 4×8 matrix of individually addressable RGB LEDs to your Raspberry Pi. With 256 brightness levels and 24-bit colour depth (over 16.7 million colours), it's perfect for creating colourful displays, status indicators, and visual effects controlled by a single data pin.

The HAT plugs directly onto any Raspberry Pi with a 40-pin GPIO header. Control pins are also broken out for use with other microcontrollers.
