Let’s dive into the WS2812B LED RGB strip datasheet before we try to control the device. Once we get a handle on its operation, we can use our Raspberry Pi or Arduino to make some light. • Note: Parts are referenced in the video. These include a WS2812B LED strip without a controller. Examples can be found on the Internet such as: • 1 meter, non-waterproof, 60 pixel/meter, $19.95 from Sparkfun: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15206 • 5 meter, non-waterproof, 60 pixel/meter, $30.88 from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/BTF-LIGHTING-F... • If you plan to use a Raspberry Pi, you’ll also need a 5V to 3.3V Bi-Directional Logic Level Converter Module. Examples include: • $2.95 from Sparkfun without headers (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12009) • $4.29 with unsoldered header (https://www.amazon.com/Bi-Directional...) • You will also need a solderless breadboard (sometimes called a protoboard) and some jumper wires to make the connections.
