LED Backlight for mirror - PIR to control them

orayoflighto

Different strips have different ways they need to be programmed. Some have faster refresh rates than others.

Most people will suggest ADA102 for beginners. The strips I linked to are LPD8806. As I mentioned previously the only reason I bought those ones is that MMM-PiLights was programmed to use them.

Any stats etc on comparison between LPD, APA102, WS2812 and SK series. I find that WS2812B isn’t always able to render all colors properly.

Anyone know a way to control hue light strips to turn on/off via the pir sensor?
