5.1 Mpangilio wa Kidhibiti

Maagizo 5.2 ya Wiring
Follow these steps for proper wiring of your LED strip to the controller:

- Connect the positive (+) terminal of your power supply to the V+ input on the controller.
- Connect the negative (-) terminal of your power supply to the V- input on the controller.
- Connect the VCC wire from your LED strip to the V output terminal on the controller.
- Connect the DATA wire from your LED strip to the D (GPIO16) output terminal on the controller. This is the default output. The other D (GPIO2) can be used after configuration in the app.
- Connect the GND wire from your LED strip to the G output terminal on the controller.
5.3 Quick Connect Port Design
The controller features a quick connect port design for convenient wiring:

- Fungua kiunganishi juu.
- Insert the stripped wire into the port.
- Press down on the connector to secure the wire.
