Summary

Real-world testing shows WS2812B/SK6805 LEDs operate reliably down to ~3V (blue channel dims first below ~3.3V). Updated voltage assertions from conservative datasheet values to match practical usage, enabling direct 3.3V and LiPo battery operation.

Package Old Range New Range Version
opsco-sk6805-ec15 4.5V – 5.5V 3V – 5.5V 0.3.0 → 0.4.0
opsco-sk6805-ec20 4.5V – 5.5V 3V – 5.5V 0.4.1 → 0.5.0
opsco-sk6805-side 4.5V – 5.5V 3V – 5.5V 0.5.0 → 0.6.0
worldsemi-ws2812b 3.5V – 5.3V 3V – 5.5V 0.3.0 → 0.4.0
worldsemi-ws2812c 3.7V – 5.3V 3V – 5.5V 0.3.0 → 0.4.0

Test plan

  • Verify all 5 packages build successfully
  • Confirm voltage assertions updated in both code and docstrings
