Raspberry Pi LED Strip using the APA102 #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
via PiMyLifeUp
Alongside showing you how to connect the APA102 led strip to the Pi, we will also show you how to utilize the “apa102-pi” Python packages to interact with the strip and change the color of individual LEDs.
The APA102 is one of the few RGB led strips that can be easily used with the Raspberry Pi. This ease of use is thanks to it using the SPI protocol for its data, with one clock line and one data line.
