Does anyone know how to make led modules like those work?
Hi, welcome to the forum.
That is a 5050 RGB led, because of its square size.
And the dark thing inside is the microcontroller.
With one input and one output it is the NeoPixel / FastLED. But a NeoPixel from Adafruit is a 6-pin 5050 led.
With two inputs and a output it is the other controller.
With three inputs it is a RGB led without any controller.
Most 5050 RGB leds have 6 pins, but the WS2812B have 4 pins.
Does this look like the same one ? https://www.tindie.com/products/RobG/ws2812b-rgb-led-with-embedded-24bit-controller/
You bought them on Ebay ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/181239263001
I think the NeoPixel library or the FastLED library will work.

No they are four pin devices, the WS2812b. The ones with 6 pins are the WS2812. Both take the same sort of input to drive them.
I think the NeoPixel library or the FastLED library will work.
Yes so do I.

LOL! Problem solved. FastLED library works. Thank you so much!^ ^
