NOTE: Sorry there is not a lot of detail at the moment. I wanted to throw this together as quickly as possible since it’s Halloween time. I will update it soon with more detail. If anyone has any questions or runs into issues, comment here, or hit me up on Twitter.
This may not always be necessary, but it was for me. If the lights are flickering randomly and not lighting to the specified colors you probably need to do this.
Wiring (WIP – Will improve the detail at some point)
Power adapter to power splitter
Power + to + on breadboard
Power – to – on breadboard
+ breadboard to red LED wire
– breadboard to blue LED wire
Raspberry Pi GPIO pin 12 (GPIO18) to LED blue/white wire (the one with the connector)
– breadboard to GPIO pin 14 (ground)
