Connecting the Flexible LED Filament

To use the Flexible LED Filament, connect the positive (+) terminal to a 12V power source and the negative (-) terminal to ground. Ensure proper heat dissipation and avoid overheating to prolong the filament's lifespan.

Example Code 1: Simple LED Filament Control with Arduino

This example demonstrates how to control the Flexible LED Filament using an Arduino board.

```c++
const int ledPin = 9;  // Pin 9 for the LED filament

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

void loop() {
  // Turn the LED filament on
  digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
  delay(1000);

// Turn the LED filament off
  digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
  delay(1000);
}
```

In this example, the Flexible LED Filament is connected to digital pin 9 on the Arduino board. The `digitalWrite()` function is used to turn the LED filament on and off.

Example Code 2: Dimming the LED Filament with Raspberry Pi and Python

This example demonstrates how to dim the Flexible LED Filament using a Raspberry Pi and Python.

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

# Set up GPIO library
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(18, GPIO.OUT)  # Pin 18 for the LED filament

# Create a PWM object on pin 18
pwm = GPIO.PWM(18, 50)  # 50 Hz frequency

try:
    while True:
        # Dim the LED filament from 0 to 100%
        for dc in range(0, 101, 10):
            pwm.start(dc)
            time.sleep(0.1)

# Dim the LED filament from 100 to 0%
        for dc in range(100, -1, -10):
            pwm.start(dc)
            time.sleep(0.1)

except KeyboardInterrupt:
    pwm.stop()
    GPIO.cleanup()
```

In this example, the Flexible LED Filament is connected to pin 18 on the Raspberry Pi. The `RPi.GPIO` library is used to create a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) object, which allows for dimming the LED filament by adjusting the duty cycle.

Example Code 3: Using the LED Filament with ESP32 and MicroPython

This example demonstrates how to control the Flexible LED Filament using an ESP32 board and MicroPython.

```python
import machine
import time

# Set up the LED filament pin
led = machine.Pin(27, machine.Pin.OUT)

while True:
    # Turn the LED filament on
    led.value(1)
    time.sleep(1)

# Turn the LED filament off
    led.value(0)
    time.sleep(1)
```

In this example, the Flexible LED Filament is connected to pin 27 on the ESP32 board. The `machine.Pin` class is used to set up the pin as an output, and the `value()` method is used to turn the LED filament on and off.

Note: Make sure to use appropriate resistors or voltage regulators to protect the ESP32 board from the 12V power source.
