    Default eBay Auction for Pixels ending on Thursday March 22nd

    I was browsing around on ebay and came across these http://www.ebay.com/itm/170808018523...84.m1423.l2649
    They appear to be pixels since the description says "smart" There is only 1 string up for grabs though. I thought someone might appreciate a decent price from China.

    PS. This isn't my auction, I don't live in China

    It's a brand new seller (only 4 feedback), who doesn't describe the item that well. Even tho it mentions "Smart" in the title, the description leads me to believe it's the "non intelligent" strings that all light up together.

    I would steer clear of this unless you get lots more info before you buy...

    I've seen these same strings listed before on ebay. Never once did they list the IC.

    I asked the seller and was told the IC is SM16716

    They also said "we are the led manufactory in china, we provide OEM service. which kind of IC you prefer?"

    I would say buyer beware!

    He said it was a manufactory huh? As opposed to a ladyufactory?

    I am NOT reccommending that anybody buy or not buy that product from the ebay vendor; I'm just interested in the chipset.

    It's mentioned among other chips for some controllers.

    Here's some LEDs which appear to associate it with the well known 6803 chipset (perhaps it's a substitute?):

    (That link also shows the side-wire form factor that people seem to be having trouble obtaining - but I've never dealt with that aliexpress vendor either).
