Led RGB connected to MyRIO

[ari12]

Hello everyone!

I don't have electronic skills and I need to connect a RGB strip Led to MyRIO for a project.

I'd like to know which MyRIO pin I should use in order to connect RGB cable to MyRIO.

Thanks for helping!

What type of LED strip do you have? Is it something based on the WS2081? I used some of these RGB LED strips in my Giant Tetris, I have posted about it here and there's even some sample code for the myRIO: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-35435

Thanks for your answer! By the way I should use this type of led but I don't know how to connect RGB cables to MyRIO pins.

MyRIO project essentials guide only explanes  how to connect a single discrete led to MyRIO (like this:) but not how to connect a strip led with four cables! 

Do you have any suggestion?!

Thanks again!

Did you actually read the link I posted? All of the answers you need are in there (under the hardware section - wiring, power requirements, converting the 3.3V to 5V). If you have any specific questions, then let me know.

ok..now I get it!! I hadn' t read that part quite accurately!

Thank you so much for your help!
