This is the hardware repo for the Core Electronics GlowBit rainbow
The GlowBit™ rainbow is a beautiful LED display and a Core Electronics Original (made right here in Newcastle, Australia). Onboard, there are 13 individually addressable LEDs – all driven by a single IO pin. Alligator + Banana-plug connections make the rainbow a perfect companion for micro:bit or Circuit Playground since there's no soldering required.
Our getting started guide covers how to wire-up your rainbow, and six creative, code-along projects to get you started. From there, remix to your heart's content. This is the perfect companion for the micro:bit onboard accelerometer and compass, along with other creative ways to display useful information such as angles, gauges, or colourful patterns on a rainbow.
GlowBit devices use the latest WS2812B v5 technology LEDs which are compatible with existing WS2812 / NeoPixel libraries available for popular development boards.
Features
- Works with micro:bit V1 and V2, Circuit Playground, and other maker favourites
- 13x WS2812B-v5 LEDs, compatible with NeoPixel
- Individually controlled LEDs from a single pin
- Connect with alligator clips, banana plugs or the 4pin breakout header
- Protractor inspired artwork - each LED is labelled in 15-degree increments, across a 180-degree curve
- Chainable - the breakout header has a data output so you can daisy-chain multiple rainbows together
- Quickstart guide and instructions
- Manufactured and supported in Australia by Core Electronics

Questions
How big is the GlowBit Rainbow PCB?
It measures 76.2 × 4.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the GlowBit Rainbow use?
24 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the GlowBit Rainbow KiCad files?
From the CoreElectronics/CoreElectronics-GlowBit-Rainbow repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/GlowBit-Rainbow.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the GlowBit Rainbow design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask CoreElectronics before reusing the design.
