    Thank you for reaching out and expressing your interest in our products. Our team has indeed developed cutting-edge products, that bear a remarkable resemblance to others Digital LEDs (also known as…

    I agree. The WSxxxx protocol is strange. I hope it doesn't become a bizarre "standard" in the same way the wonky Arduino headers.

    Oh - that sounds like it might use the WS28xx protocol. That's a shame if true.

    The less well known DotStar/APA102 LEDs are far nicer to work with. The protocol is basically SPI so immediately compatible with most microcontrollers without a messy driver timings.

    Yes and in worst case you can easily bitband this interface at almost any speed (ie. without any wait loop needed). I would also use 6-pin variant of europen addressable LED instead of 4-pin WS28xx compatible.

    It seems that ICLEDs are here!

    https://www.we-online.com/en/components/products/WL-ICLED

    Interestingly they offer 4 variants and they differ package, but also in almost all parameters. 2 of them permits even at 3.3V. One have different controller with configurable current gain and pwm (12-bit resolution in total).
