Code Examples

### Example 1: Basic Arduino Connection and Dimming

This example demonstrates how to connect the LED strip to an Arduino board and control its brightness using a potentiometer.

```cpp
const int ledPin = 9;  // Pin connected to the LED strip
const int potPin = A0;  // Pin connected to the potentiometer

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

void loop() {
  int potValue = analogRead(potPin);
  int brightness = map(potValue, 0, 1023, 0, 255);
  analogWrite(ledPin, brightness);
  delay(10);
}
```

### Example 2: Raspberry Pi Python Script for Color Changing

This example demonstrates how to connect the LED strip to a Raspberry Pi and control its color using a Python script.

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

# Set up GPIO mode
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)

# Set up the LED strip pin
led_pin = 18
GPIO.setup(led_pin, GPIO.OUT)

try:
    while True:
        # Switch between warm white and off
        GPIO.output(led_pin, GPIO.HIGH)
        time.sleep(1)
        GPIO.output(led_pin, GPIO.LOW)
        time.sleep(1)

except KeyboardInterrupt:
    GPIO.cleanup()
```

Note: Make sure to use a suitable power supply and current-limiting resistors when driving the LED strip, as it can consume up to 2A per meter. Always follow proper safety precautions when working with electrical components.
