I got the Sponsored Kit
Hey everyone, just letting you know I received the Sponsored Kit. Super excited to start building with it — thanks to the organizers and Würth Elektronik. I’ll be using this kit to make a 10x5 LED matrix and share the process as I go.
What’s inside the box
Here’s everything I found, with quantities:
-
Würth Elektronik 1315050930002
LED, AlInGaP / InGaN, RGB SMD, 120°, Round, R 13 mA / G 13 mA / B 13 mA — Quantity: 25 -
Würth Elektronik 1313210530000
LED, AlInGaP / InGaN, RGB SMD, 120°, Dome, R 5.5 mA / G 5.5 mA / B 5.5 mA — Quantity: 25 -
Würth Elektronik 1312020030000
LED, AlInGaP / InGaN, RGB SMD, 120°, Square, R 5.5 mA / G 5.5 mA / B 5.5 mA — Quantity: 25 -
Würth Elektronik 1312121320437
LED, AlInGaP / InGaN, RGB SMD, 110°, Square, R 20 mA / G 20 mA / B 20 mA — Quantity: 25 -

LED, RGB SMD, 120°, Square, R 6 mA / G 6 mA / B 6 mA — Quantity: 25 -
5050 LED breakout PCB
PCB is 0.8 mm / 0.03" thick, ~10 mm / 0.4" spacing between rows — Quantity: 50 -
Multicomp Pro MCBB830K
Solderless breadboard, ABS, 1 mm, 105 mm x 183 mm — Quantity: 2 -
Texas Instruments TXS0108EPWR
Level translator, 8 channels, 1.65 V to 5.5 V — Quantity: 1 -
Arduino Zero (ABX00003)
ATSAMD21G18, ARM Cortex M0+, 32 bit, 32 KB RAM, 256 KB Flash, 20 I/O pins — Quantity: 1 - Power Supply with Interchangeable Plugs (MP007771)
AC/DC power supply, 24 W, 9 V DC, 2.5 A — Quantity: 1
My plan (short)
I’ll solder the 5050 LEDs to the breakout PCBs, wire them into a 10 columns x 5 rows setup, and control columns as chains from the Arduino Zero. I’ll post step by step: soldering, wiring the chains, code, and troubleshooting notes. Expect pics and short updates as I make progress.
I’ll start with the first solder session later this week and post the results.
