Hi guys,

Anything available for controlling RGB LED strips from the RPi GPIO?

Thanks

What’s the issue with the google results for “controlling RGB LED strips from the RPi GPIO”?

I wrote this a while ago. It has been working in my testing, but I haven’t changed my light over yet permanently.
It uses MQTT.

Any feedback is welcome.

Thanks for the reply. I notice you mention WS2812b and upon looking it up, I notice it has 3 connections, my LED strip has 4 connections.

Can this still work?

Thanks

It is using this library rpi-ws281x-python
you need to check if your type of LED Strip is supported by that library.

[edit] And I would not know what pin to connect the extra channel to
