Bought a
12V 5M RGB LED Strip
a 12V 5A power supply
6 IRLZ44N mosfets.
i am trying to light up the led strip with PiGPIO. followed the https://dordnung.de/raspberrypi-ledstrip/ tutorial. and the led won't even light up. i tried to connect the +V to the VCC of my LED Strip, and -V to the Red/Blue/Green input, it simply lights up. but cannot do it with raspberry pi
so, here is how i wired things:
mosfets:
- right pin -> ground of breadboard
- middle pin -> on of the LED RGB inputs
- left pin -> to GPIO pin 17 of the raspberry pi
power supply:
- -V -> ground of breadboard
- +V -> VCC of the LED Strip input
and also wired the raspberry pi GND to the ground of the breadboard
installed PiGPIO and ran these commands :
sudo pigpiod
pigs p 17 255
nothing works!
EDIT : here is the schematic for the mosfet : http://www.irf.com/product-info/datasheets/data/irlz44n.pdf
