The ARC Core is a small, pre programmed, low power board designed to run RGB LEDs. It is ideal for portable devices such as game consoles using 3.3V - 5V (ideally 5V).
It is designed to be used on ARC RGB LED flex pcbs inside Game Boy consoles. The core is removable from these LED boards, aiming to reduce electronics waste by reprograming it
