<![CDATA[Led without Bread-boards !]]>Hi folks :

is there any possibility that I can add led lights to my magicmirror through USB or without Bread-boards n gpio? is there any module for that?

I made a small module for the mmm to pilot led strip but you need breadboard transistor and resistance

Tell me if you want me to explain more

Go for Philips Hue for example. You can control with your smartphone and with Alexa

If you want to control them with the raspberry pi it’s definetly easier to use the GPIO pins than USB ;) Why you want to use USB over the GPIO Pins? Breadboard is generally a fast build thing you use for testing purposes. You will have to consider that when using long LED stripes you definetly need more power than a raspberry pi can deilver so you will need to use a external power supply for them.

but I don’t want using GPIO or the sheet white bread-board anymore I wanna using USB so how to control it with voice or Toggle button through mobile or something like that?

However you should probably specify a bit more what you even want to achieve. There are tons of possibilities what you might want to do with leds. When people know what you actually want it’s a lot easier to provide you with tips on how to build it :)
