Oh my god! i have been trying to figure out these darn WS2811 LEDS for days. All you had to tell me was the direction of the data. I am so happy to see these leds light up. Thank you so much
Please use a Resistor between DATA wire and arduino. The Normal Resistor is 470 Ohm. If you dont use it, the LED will be warm/hot. Maybe if you want a good stable LED light use a Capacitor with 1000 uF
By the way that cable plug configuration is not the normal one. The one I have from Amazon WS2811 type has a 3 pin connector, some are flat others round, and the two power injection wires. The 3 pins are; (+), data, (-). The negative is usually marked with a stripe or color. The negatives are connected directly together.
@@arturocruz2615 i am going to build a vu meter musical spectrum analyzer and i want to use 10 leds. with that I will use pieces in the shape of a diamond or pyramid placed on the led. The project is progressing little by little thanks to you, thank you;)
I want to use the Arduino for 12v Led ws2811. I know I need an external 12v supply and a mosfet. I don't know how to connect the mosfet. Can you help me out? A diagram would be fine!
you dont need a mosfet, the 12v supply connect to the 12v pin on the led strip and the data in pin is connected to one of the digital pins on the arduino. The ws2811 IC does all the switching which is why you dont need a transistor. see this diagram for example: i.stack.imgur.com/Iq1on.png
Thank you so much for posting this! These lights had me completely stumped.

That is for neopixel... does that also go for the WS2811 Nodes?
Thank you for posting this video. Very informative!
Thanks for watching!
Great video! Got mine up and running. Now to see if you ever made the next video about programming them....
Thanks so much I was completely stuck getting them to light and operate I appreciate it
Glad I could help
Thank you.helped me a lot
Straight forward video great job
Very nice project. Can you are able to share the code and schematic.
Can we cut that leds to individual...not the strip one

how do you hook a power to my laptop to run arduino nano
With this exact setup, what is the maximum number of WS2811 neopixel LEDs we can use with Arduino Nano?
How many bulps are content to arduino board
What you've got there is not Standard RGB Led stripo lights is it ? is it called neopixels too
How do I get this file into arduino ? Please ! Tks.
where is your arduino programme?
How many pixel is controlled by Arduino
hi, is it possible to use only 10 leds? For my project, 50 LEDs is too much!
Of course you can

HI
Is there any IC & IC burner for Pixel LED w2811 LED model for designing. if i Do not use t1000 Controller
can i use arduino codes on wemos?

anoname Thanks a lot!
@@germas369 is this diagram works for 12v led strips ?
Because in your diagram those leds have 5v.
Can we use arduino uno
Yes you should be able to.
code kay h
I need to know how to turn one light on at a time when a rollover switch is activated.
Sir how to change led color brightness
Can you share the code
How to run
???
VERY HELPFUL VIDEO THANKYOU
