Hi Core, will a Pico drive these? Looks like current and voltage could be on the limit?
If not, please point me to a suitable RGB LED.

Hi Mark
Probably not directly. Usual practice is to use a dedicated LED power supply and use Pico, Arduino etc to drive the data line in a LED string or individual LED as the case may be.

Could be a bit difficult here. Aside from current requirements the 3.3V limit could be a bit of a game changer. The forward voltage drop of some LEDs can be close to that so current limiting can be a problem.
