have you lost your LED strip controller? or bored with your regular led's? and have no idea what to do with your Arduino? then your in the right place! this is A great thing for starters because you don't need to code!

Supplies

you will need ;

a led strip

jumper wires

Arduino(or anything with an GND and 5v)

breadboard

potentiometer(optional)

Find Out What Hole Is Your Power Supply

you can do this by sticking a wire in one of the holes and another one in GND and repeat until you see a color , then take out the GND one this one is mine.

Color Code Your Wires

its extremely helpful if you color code your wires so you can actually change the colors without confusion( btw GND lights the color up)and 13 is a dimmer light

Put It Onto a Breadboard

put your wires like this,

power goes into 5V and the others go into GND , it should show a white light. you can move the other wires around to make different colors( I used a rib light because I there isn't a regular led strip on Tinkercad )

Potentiometer (optional)

this is the diagram for the potentiometer so you can control the brightness, power goes into the middle one

PLEASE MAKE SUGGESTIONS, THIS IS MY FIRST INTRUCTABLE
