Getting started
Arduino library
To install the Arduino library, you can use the Arduino library manager or download it from the GitHub repository:
Soldered WS2812B Grid Arduino Library
Arduino library for the Soldered Smart LED WS2812B Grid 8×8.

Connections
The board exposes three signals on its header pins: VCC, GND, and DIN (data in). Below is an example connection for Nula DeepSleep. These pins are used in all examples throughout this documentation.
| Nula DeepSleep | WS2812B Grid |
|---|---|
| IO5 | DIN |
| 5V | VCC |
| GND | GND |

Chaining multiple grids
The board also exposes a DOUT header pin. To chain two or more grids together, connect the first board's DOUT to the second board's DIN, and pass the same VCC and GND rails to all boards. Set the total grid width or height in the WS2812Grid constructor to match your physical arrangement.
