Hi,

I want to control a LED strip from a program on my computer.
Basically its software that has support for Phidget Relay Boards, but not sure what hardware to buy!

Many thx,
Josef

Hi @Josefpeyre and welcome to the forum.

This setup shouldn’t be that hard to make.

I am not sure if you already have a specific Phidget Relay Board?

For example, you can use this one: Phidgets Relay Interface Kit 0/0/4 - RobotShop

Then, you choose a LED strip. For example this one: 5V Flexible LED Strip (60 LEDs) - Blue - RobotShop

Now, you only need to do wiring of the LED strip with a relay. Relay will just give or cut power to the LED strip based on your program on PC (you will need a USB cable and also a program). Similar to this:

I hope this helps.
