PIR sensor to turn on LED strip

[wishmaster270]

@Egnos Hi, as the picture says they use the 5V power source of the led strip to power the Pi, too.
Instead of powering the pi via USB they use the 5V GPIO pin.
If you want to power the Pi via USB instead be sure to connect the Ground of the strip with ground of the pi.

@Egnos no. they are powering the pi from the 5v gpio pins as well as the LEDs.

the pin is tall.

The GPIO ground or the power ground going into USB-C?
