Chainable RGB LED v2.0 (Grove 104020048) component

Grove-Chainable RGB LED V2.0 is based on P9813S14 chip. This chip is a full-color light source driver chip that can provide three constant current driver and 256 greyscale modulation output. The key word of this product is “Chainable”, so how many LEDs can it be chained? By connecting the output grove connector of one LED to the input grove connector of another one, you are able to chain 1024 RGB LEDs at most!
