Arduino PL9823 RGBLEDS Wiring Setup
Simhub offers one PL9823 output on the arduino. PL9823 Leds can be cascaded to wire many leds with a single arduino output. PL9823 can be found in 5 or 8mm versions.
- As the current state of the sketch, led types (PL9823, WS2812B, ...) can't be mixed on a single arduino
- One arduino can have up to 150leds enabled, and Simhub can drive up to 512leds overall when driving multiple arduinos. Warning, the latency will raise with the number of leds, for a large setup an Arduino pro micro is a good option as it reduces the serial port latency.
PL9823 -> Arduino
GND -> GND
DIN -> D6
4-7VDC -> 5V
This pinout is given as example, make sure to refer to your model datadasheet as LEDS pins order may vary.
LEDS have a direction ! Do not mix up DI/DIN with DO/DOUT ! DO/DOUT can be used to cascade another leds, and can't be used as an input.
