# dig2go

> The dig2go is the easiest, plug-and-play WLED controller for addressable LED strips. It's a tiny USB-C powered box (made by QuinLED, designed by Quindor) that ships pre-loaded with WLED firmware. You plug in USB-C power, click on a 5V addressable LED strip, and control colours and effects from your phone, with no soldering and nothing to flash. It is aimed at beginners getting started with addressable LEDs / WLED, and is sold as ready-to-go bundles.
