Hello! I’m very new to this stuff and trying to learn before jumping into a project. My goal is to modify a Voice PE and part of that is replacing the LED ring with an LED strip. I found an article (second link) that says “The RGBIN/RGBOUT pins are connected to the LEDs in the LED ring on top. They could be used to connect additional WS2812-type LEDs… The amount of power you can draw from the power pins (+5 V, +3.3 V) on these headers depends on the capabilities of the power supply you are using; most common USB power supplies can supply either 1, 2, or 3 amperes.” Does this mean that I could plug something like this (first link) into those pins? I only need 12 LEDs, but I’m not sure how to calculate the power draw for that to make sure the Voice PE can power them. I’d prefer not to add an additional power supply but if that’s the way the cookie crumbles I’ll make it work. Thank you!
2812s only draw about 0.06 amps/LED at max white brightness so even 1amp can easily power 12 LEDs.
Thank you! That’s super helpful!
