Well 30 seconds on google found this https://cpldcpu.com/2016/03/09/the-sk6812-another-intelligent-rgb-led/ and this https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/product-files/1138/SK6812+LED+datasheet+.pdf
There are some small differences but basically they are just a copy of the WS2812 made by a different company.
Hi Andy, i found you you know more about the led strip and the controller. You know the arduino controller,then,it have the uno,nano,mege,leonardo,so,could you share the uno nano controller information to me? i am not very know that well,i am learning it now,learn how to use them controll the led strip,and what type led strip it can controll,appreciated your help. thanks again.
posted by 23 May 2017I don't know arduino well, this site has nothing to do with arduino. However there are already lots of libraries and tutorials for using these LEDs with an arduino, google should give you lots of links. WS2812 LEDs are also sometimes called NeoPixels in the arduino world, you may have more luck using that in the search term than ws2812 or sk6812

SK6812 is much stable than WS2812b,ws2812b is easy to break.
