Powering Led Strip with Arduino

I would like to know if its feasible to take a led light that is powered by 3 AA in series. i do not know the exact type of strip. i assume if i could output similar to 3 AA in series that would work fine as besides that there is an off switch and nothing else. its just a red and black wire. I have the SparkFun Inventor's Kit Version 4.1a which contains the Redboard Qwiic. This is the only stuff i have. would be cool to have it use the included photoresistor and components from the inventors kit.

Sure you can do anything, but in alll likelihood, you’re going to need a bigger Arduino.

Stone soup.

Here is all you need to use everything in your Spartkfun Inventor's Kit... if you read the documents inside the box, you would have known this.

Get a multimeter; you will need to know how much current your led strip consumes.

I'm reasonably sure that the old inventor kits came with a transistor that might have been useful. With your kit you can probably use the motor driver to drive the led strip.
