3/12/2024 0 Comments Raspberry pi zero w fritzingI have used an external 5V source using the micro-usb interface to power up the WS2812B neopixels as the Raspberry Pi cannot power this LEDs and may result to it being damaged. We need the 74AHCT125 Level converter since these WS2812B Neopixels requires considerable 5V voltage to power and our Raspberry Pi GPIO Port can only supply 3.3V. This was taken from the adafruit site using Level Shifting. The image above shows the fritzing schematic diagram on how we are going wire our WS2812B Neopixels to our Raspberry Pi. Pillow is the Python Imaging Library and we will control our WS2812B Neopixels like drawing something in a “canvas” using the Raspberry Pi and Python instead of addressing each LEDs individually. “it provides a Pillow-compatible drawing canvas” We will first show the schematic diagram and then discuss how we can control it using the awesome library luma.led_matrix.
