LED strip solderingĪs a Software Developer, I’m not an expert in soldering but I tried to do my best. Just don’t forget to order a DC Power Jack Adapter for easy connectivity of the at least 7 A / 35 W – 5V power supply. Total power consumption: 3.8 m LED strip x 1.5 A + 1.0 A Raspberry Pi Model B = 6.7 A / 33.5 W.įortunately, the Raspberry Pi requires also 5V, so you’ll be able to power up the strip and the Pi with the same 5V power supply. I needed 3.8 m of the SMD LED strip for my 55 inch TV. To calculate the total power consumption, we need to measure how many LEDs we can put on the TV’s back. Regarding the spec sheet, the 5 V LED strip consumes approx. Alternatively, you could use just one Raspberry Pi, which will act as the LED controller and the media center. ![]() RGB LED Strip – Pigtail Connector 20cm (pair)īreadboard Jumper Wire m-m (65-cable pack)ġpin dual female jumper wire (300mm) 20pcs.Ģpin dual female jumper wire (300mm) 5pcs. I’ve ordered following parts to complete the installation from boxtec.ch 1 x We’ll setup the necessary hardware first. Furthermore SMD strips are quite easy to mount, because of the adhesive tape on the back of the strip. After some research, I decided that using SMD LED strips with WS2801 chips would be the best match for a Raspberry Pi controller. So, why don’t do it on my own? I ordered two Raspberry Pis, which seemed like a perfect fit for a media center and a LED controller because of the built in SPI bus interface. ![]()
