Led strip 4-wire (R, G, B, and 12V pin), 5050, will it work?

1. offizieller Beitrag

    Hello everyone!


    I have one useless LED strip at home. It has 4 pins to connect: R, G, B, and 12V. The chip is 5050. It is divided per 3 diodes, exactly as in the picture bellow. I know this can't be programmed diode by diode, like the APA102, but it would definitely find use anyway. Is it possible to connect to Hyperion? Could someone please guide me to a topic where this is being addressed? Which configuration, protocol ... to choose?

    RE: Can 5050 leds be used for monochromatic illumination?
    Hyperion DOES support normal leds using piblaster.
    https://github.com/sarfata/pi-blaster

    You'll need a 3 channel mosfet driver to interface to a raspberry Pi and you'll also need to install piblaster.

    Once done and working you can get Hyperion to define 1 logical led based on screen co-ordinated and and tell it which gpio pins piblaster is using.

    Having said that, f you haven't bought the leds yet - get an addressable strip instead. The setup is easier

    Thank you both for the tips!

    So it seems that the way using the non-addressable LEDs isn't easy. Raspberry is a bit of an overkill for this, if you just want to illuminate the shelf, the bed, the closet, etc... I had in mind some Arduino things. Just to use a few such strips that would communicate with the Hyperion as a center. Is there any solution for that?


    I didn't think it would be that complicated. Especially since similar strips have been used in PC cases, for example, I think.
