{"product_id":"led-driver-board-for-seeed-studio-xiao","title":"LED Driver Board for Seeed Studio XIAO","description":"\u003cp\u003eLED Driver Board for Seeed Studio XIAO is a compact driver supporting both 5V and 12V LED strips, including popular addressable RGB LEDs like NeoPixel WS2812, WS2813, and WS2815. It's compatible with all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/zaitronics.com.au\/collections\/seeed-studio-xiao-boards\"\u003eXIAO development boards\u003c\/a\u003e, and when paired with the XIAO ESP32 series, it unlocks smart control through WLED and Home Assistant, making it a solid base for both simple LED strip projects and full smart lighting setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWide LED Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe driver supports both 5V\/3A and 12V\/2A LED strips with built-in power regulation, covering single-color strips as well as addressable RGB LEDs including WS2811, WS2812(B), WS2813, WS2815, SK6812, and other 1-wire protocol LEDs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSmart Control with XIAO ESP32\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaired with a XIAO ESP32-C3, ESP32-S3, or ESP32-C6, this board unlocks smart lighting features you don't get from a bare driver. WLED app support lets you control colours, effects, brightness, and build custom animations, with the ESP32-C3 the recommended pairing. Home Assistant integration via ESPHome adds remote control and automation, so your lighting can become part of a broader smart home setup rather than running standalone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFlexible Power Input\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe board accepts 12V\/2A power through a standard DC adapter or direct DC wiring, using a universal 5.5mm x 2.1mm DC barrel jack, suitable for both temporary bench setups and permanent installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eComprehensive Protection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt-in overcurrent, overvoltage, overtemperature, and short-circuit protection help keep your lighting setup running reliably and protect connected components over the long run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompact Form Factor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe space-efficient design allows for discreet installation near LED strips or in tight spaces, without compromising on the driver's full feature set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote that this expansion board isn't directly compatible with the XIAO nRF54L15 series, since Arduino isn't currently supported on that board. The hardware interface itself is fully compatible, so developers can manually adapt the software if needed, and official software support from Seeed Studio is in development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"6\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupported LED Models\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle-colour LEDs, addressable RGB LEDs (WS2811, WS2812, WS2812B, WS2813, WS2815), other 1-wire protocol LEDs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLED Connector\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4-pin 3.81mm screw terminal (12V, 5V, A0, GND)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Input\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12V\/2A\/24W DC adapter (EU or US plug), or other 12V DC adapter with 5.5mm x 2.1mm plug, or direct DC 12V wire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLED Power Support\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDC 12V \/ DC 5V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Current\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12V\/2A, 5V\/3A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOnboard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower switch, I2C connector, user button (D3), power LED\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUser Pin Header\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1x SPI, 1x UART, 2x digital\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e63mm x 30mm x 14.4mm (with a XIAO board fitted)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/0021\/9940\/files\/image-105100021.webp\" alt=\"LED Driver Board for Seeed Studio XIAO product overview\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eResources\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/0021\/9940\/files\/LED_Driver_Board_for_Seeed_Studio_XIAO_SCH_PDF_20250417.pdf\"\u003eSchematic\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrowse our full range of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/zaitronics.com.au\/collections\/seeed-studio-xiao-boards\"\u003eXIAO Development Boards\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with our range of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/zaitronics.com.au\/collections\/12v-power-supply\"\u003e12V Power Supplies\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePair it with our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/zaitronics.com.au\/collections\/led-strips\"\u003eRGB and WS2812B LED Strips\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Seeed Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56007698546980,"sku":"SS105100021","price":14.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/0021\/9940\/files\/2-105100021-led-driver-board-for-seeed-studio-xiao.jpg?v=1786436476","url":"https:\/\/zaitronics.com.au\/products\/led-driver-board-for-seeed-studio-xiao","provider":"Zaitronics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
