Closed SegmentedAbyss5 closed 3 years ago

Im looking into using this for my enclosure and i have a 6 pin LED strip on hand. Does this work with a 6 pin Strip (R,G,B,White,Warm white) ? And how would i go about wiring it ?

Hey @SegmentedAbyss5!

This plugin will only work with WS281x type LEDs (including WS2811, WS2812 and SK6182 strips, also branded as Neopixels). These LEDs are individually addressable with a single data line, and power and ground.

For non-addressable LED strips, you could look at the LEDStripControl plugin or apparently the OctoPrint Enclosure plugin might be able to do this.
