The Flexible LED Filament (24V 1200mm, Blue) is a linear LED light source designed for various IoT applications. It features a flexible PCB with 24V input and 1200mm length, emitting blue light. To ensure proper connection and operation, follow the pinout and connection guide below:
Pinout:
The Flexible LED Filament has a total of 4 pins, labeled as follows:
Pin 1: VCC (Red wire)
Pin 2: GND (Black wire)
Pin 3: No Connection (NC)
Pin 4: No Connection (NC)
Connection Guide:
To connect the Flexible LED Filament, follow these steps:
Step 1: Power Connection
Connect Pin 1 (VCC) to a 24V DC power source using the red wire. Ensure the power source is stable and within the recommended voltage range (24V 10%).
Connect Pin 2 (GND) to the ground terminal of the power source using the black wire. This completes the power circuit.
Step 2: No Connections
Pin 3 (NC) and Pin 4 (NC) are not connected to any internal components. Leave these pins unconnected.
Important Notes:
Ensure the power supply meets the recommended voltage and current ratings to avoid damaging the LED filament.
The Flexible LED Filament is designed for 24V operation. Using a higher or lower voltage may affect performance, efficiency, or even damage the component.
The LED filament is sensitive to polarity. Reverse connection of VCC and GND pins can damage the component. Always double-check the connections before powering on.
When handling the Flexible LED Filament, avoid touching the pins or PCB to prevent electrical shock or damage.
By following this pinout and connection guide, you can safely and effectively integrate the Flexible LED Filament (24V 1200mm, Blue) into your IoT project.

Example 1: Controlling the LED Filament with an Arduino Board

In this example, we will use an Arduino Uno board to control the Flexible LED Filament. We will connect the filament to a 24V power source and use the Arduino to toggle the LED strip on and off.

Components:

Flexible LED Filament (24V 1200mm, Blue)
 Arduino Uno board
 24V power source
 Breadboard and jumper wires

Code:
```c++
const int ledPin = 2;  // Choose any digital pin on the Arduino board

void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);  // Turn the LED strip on
  delay(1000);
  digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);   // Turn the LED strip off
  delay(1000);
}
```
Connections:

Connect the `V+` wire of the LED filament to the 24V power source.
 Connect the `GND` wire of the LED filament to the GND pin on the Arduino board.
 Connect a digital pin (e.g., Pin 2) on the Arduino board to the `V+` wire of the LED filament using a breadboard and jumper wires.

Example 2: Dimming the LED Filament with a Raspberry Pi and PWM

In this example, we will use a Raspberry Pi to control the brightness of the Flexible LED Filament using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM).

Components:

Flexible LED Filament (24V 1200mm, Blue)
 Raspberry Pi
 24V power source
 Breadboard and jumper wires

Code:
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(18, GPIO.OUT)  # Choose any PWM-capable pin on the Raspberry Pi

pwm = GPIO.PWM(18, 100)  # Set the PWM frequency to 100 Hz

try:
    while True:
        for dc in range(0, 101, 5):  # Dimming loop
            pwm.start(dc)
            time.sleep(0.1)
        for dc in range(100, -1, -5):  # Dimming loop
            pwm.start(dc)
            time.sleep(0.1)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    pwm.stop()
    GPIO.cleanup()
```
Connections:

Connect the `V+` wire of the LED filament to the 24V power source.
 Connect the `GND` wire of the LED filament to the GND pin on the Raspberry Pi.
 Connect a PWM-capable pin (e.g., Pin 18) on the Raspberry Pi to the `V+` wire of the LED filament using a breadboard and jumper wires.

Remember to adjust the code and connections according to your specific use case and requirements.
