Pin Configuration

  • Component Documentation: 12V Cold White 5050 SMD LED Strip Flexible 5M/Roll Non-Waterproof (5 Meter)
  • Introduction
  • The 12V Cold White 5050 SMD LED Strip is a flexible, 5-meter long LED strip comprising of 5050 SMD LED packages. This documentation provides a detailed explanation of the pinout and connection structure for the LED strip.
  • Pinout Explanation
  • The LED strip has a total of 4 pins, which are distributed evenly along the length of the strip. The pins are labeled as follows:
  • Pin 1: V+ (Positive Voltage Input)
  • Function: Provides the positive voltage supply to the LED strip.
  • Voltage: 12V DC (Recommended operating voltage)
  • Color: Typically, the V+ pin is marked with a red wire or a positive (+) symbol.
  • Pin 2: V- (Negative Voltage Input)
  • Function: Provides the negative voltage supply to the LED strip.
  • Voltage: 0V DC (Ground)
  • Color: Typically, the V- pin is marked with a black wire or a negative (-) symbol.
  • Pin 3: No Connection
  • This pin is not connected internally and is not used for any purpose.
  • Pin 4: No Connection
  • This pin is not connected internally and is not used for any purpose.
  • Connection Structure
  • To connect the LED strip, follow these steps:
  • 1. Positive Voltage Connection
  • Connect the V+ (Pin 1) to a 12V DC power source, such as a power adapter or a battery, using a red wire.
  • 2. Negative Voltage Connection
  • Connect the V- (Pin 2) to the negative terminal of the power source, such as the ground pin of a power adapter or the negative terminal of a battery, using a black wire.
  • 3. ENSURE PROPER POLARITY
  • Verify that the polarity of the connections is correct. Reversing the polarity can damage the LED strip.
  • Important Notes
  • The LED strip is non-waterproof, so avoid exposing it to moisture or water.
  • Use a suitable power source and wiring to ensure safe and reliable operation.
  • Cut the strip only at the designated cutting points to avoid damaging the internal circuitry.
  • When connecting multiple strips, ensure that the total current drawn does not exceed the maximum recommended current rating.
  • By following these instructions, you can properly connect and use the 12V Cold White 5050 SMD LED Strip Flexible 5M/Roll Non-Waterproof (5 Meter) for your IoT projects.

Code Examples
### Example 1: Basic LED Strip Control using Arduino
In this example, we will connect the LED strip to an Arduino board and control its brightness using a potentiometer.
Hardware Requirements
Arduino Uno or compatible board
 12V Cold White 5050 SMD LED Strip
 Potentiometer (10k)
 Breadboard and jumper wires
Code
```c++
const int ledPin = 9;  // Pin 9 for LED strip control
const int potPin = A0;  // Pin A0 for potentiometer input
void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
  int val = analogRead(potPin);  // Read potentiometer value
  int brightness = map(val, 0, 1023, 0, 255);  // Map value to 0-255 range
  analogWrite(ledPin, brightness);  // Set LED strip brightness
  delay(10);
}
```
### Example 2: LED Strip Control using Raspberry Pi and Python
In this example, we will connect the LED strip to a Raspberry Pi and control its brightness using a Python script.
Hardware Requirements
Raspberry Pi (any model)
 12V Cold White 5050 SMD LED Strip
 Breadboard and jumper wires
Code
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
# Set up GPIO library
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(18, GPIO.OUT)  # Pin 18 for LED strip control
try:
    while True:
        # Fade in and out
        for i in range(0, 100, 5):
            GPIO.PWM(18, 50).start(i)
            time.sleep(0.05)
        for i in range(100, 0, -5):
            GPIO.PWM(18, 50).start(i)
            time.sleep(0.05)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    GPIO.cleanup()
```
Note: In both examples, make sure to use a 12V power supply and a suitable current limiting resistor to prevent damage to the LED strip or the control circuitry.
Safety Precautions
Handle the LED strip with care to avoid damaging the SMD LEDs or the flexible PCB.
 Keep the LED strip away from water and moisture to prevent damage.
 Use a 12V power supply with a suitable current rating to power the LED strip.
 Avoid overclocking or over-driving the LED strip, as it may cause damage or reduce its lifespan.
