It looks like “WS2805” isn’t in the Flux part library, and I don’t see a standard LED-driver or addressable-LED part with that exact number. To move forward I need a bit more detail:
  1. Can you confirm the exact driver / LED you plan to use?
    • If you have a datasheet or MPN, please share or link it.
    • If you meant a more common part (e.g. SK6812 RGBW LED @ 5 V, or WS2814 5-channel driver), let me know.
  2. How do you want the five RGBWW LEDs arranged?
    • Separate 5-channel driver ICs (one per LED) with external LEDs, or
    • Integrated addressable LEDs (LED + driver in one package)?
  3. What LED current do you need per color channel? (This affects resistor / power-rail sizing.)
Once I know the exact parts and arrangement you’d like, I can:
  • Find the parts in the Flux library (or suggest close equivalents already available).
  • List the supporting passives (decoupling caps, termination resistors, etc.).
  • Show how to chain the DIN/DOUT lines and power the string from a single 5 V rail.
Let me know the specifics and we’ll get your five-LED chain sketched out quickly.
