“I bought a complete 5m length, and it came with a connector on both ends and a matching connector for the input, as well as extra power wires. Only concern was that the power leads had stripped ends (just one of the four wire ends had some tape over it) which might conceivably have caused a short if not attended to.
Nice and bright, with good colours. There is no detectable flicker unless you move your eyes fast. I ran it using a 3.3V signal and did not seem to need a level shifter.”
“These work great and are really bright - the possibilities are endless... The white is a bit cooler than I was hoping for and the silicone casing isn't the most user friendly - would have preferred a self adhesive backing like other strips I've used”
“Very pleased with this, quality of this was very impressive. I bought this to replace a cheap no brand strip that I had and no regrets so far. Comes with protective sleeve which is a plus.”
“It looks good but the code in unicornhat is not really compatible with this led strip. The library is hard coded for the hat size so you cannot really use it.”
Ahoy Adrien!
You might have better luck with our Blinkt library - https://github.com/pimoroni/blinkt - but there's plenty of libraries out there specifically designed for driving RGB LED strips from your Pi - drop us a line at support@pimoroni.com if you'd like us to point you in the right direction!
