Code Examples

### Example 1: Basic On/Off Control using Arduino

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

```cpp
const int ledPin = 9;  // VCC wire connected to digital pin 9
const int gndPin = 8;  // GND wire connected to digital pin 8

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

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

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

### Example 2: PWM Dimming using Raspberry Pi (Python)

This example demonstrates how to control the brightness of the Flexible LED Filament using PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) on a Raspberry Pi.

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

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

# Define the PWM pin (connected to VCC wire)
pwm_pin = 17

# Set up PWM pin as output
GPIO.setup(pwm_pin, GPIO.OUT)

# Create a PWM object with a frequency of 100Hz
pwm = GPIO.PWM(pwm_pin, 100)

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

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