So i bought a floor lamp, similer to the hue signe lamp, its segmented but i dont know if wled would be a good option for it or what controller would be a good option, it has 4 pins

      Watching a video on the dig-uno so would i use all 4 connecters here, in the video he only used 3 but since mine has 4 pins, that means all 4 on those right? At. Least if I understand it correctly

      Whoa lots of options, any specific ones you recommend for 4 pin led? Just so i don’t have to look in the all of them, also, i can’t find any info about the lamp online, so it’s hard to find out if it’s rgbw but I think it is

          OP said they’re segmented meaning they must be addressable LEDs. You’re referring to analog LEDs where the entire strip can only be one color at a time.

          Okay, its my first project with rgb strip, though its inside the device, but on all the diagram pictures i have found with the quinled digs it looks like only 3 wires is going to the leds

              I also have an extra esp32 laying around bit i dont know much about which pins does what, i have tried to learn, but never really had a specific need to learn it, so i never really understood what i was looking at, I always need reason to learn, otherwise i just can’t really learn anything

                WLED has pin diagrams that you can use to connect things together. Find out the voltage your LEDs use and then go from there. 4 pin addressable are typically something like the WS2811 or WS2815

            And it’s only 5V IIRC. Your lights may be 12V (check the power supply). Honestly you can just run it off a bare ESP8266 or ESP32 dev board without the Dig shield if you want to try it out without spending a bunch up front.
