Speaking of available products. This one is cheap, so I just ordered a set.

Oh yes, good potential fun there! What a deal.
Great catch! Ordered it right away. What can we do with it?
Maybe I can get some experience for my lamp project
Ordered, thanks!
The measurement given on that page for the size seems wrong to me. I’m estimating (based on the 12 pixel neopixel I have) that the largest ring in this set is about 72mm (about 2.8 inches) on the outer diameter. When someone gets their set can you post the dimensions?
@marmil given each WS2812 is 5mm wide, I agree (without having one on hand) with your 2.8" estimate for the diameter of the largest ring.
Still a nice, inexpensive package
I’m seeing very high shipping costs when I try to checkout out ($120 for 3 items).
Likewise, in the US. Where are you, Gabriel?
Was free in Canada as well.
In the US. I’ll try again…
Ah, if you select a quantity over 2, the shipping options change. Shrug. I guess I’m buying two.
