Question about L.E.D strip lights and the Arduino?

Demonic69:
You can tell by the markings on the strip, they'll either say 12v, R, G, B.
Or R, G, B, GND
You can get the whole thing to breathe, flash etc easily enough, you'd only need one transistor per colour for the whole thing

It says 12V, R, G, B.

I'm thinking about throwing in the towel on it, I was hoping it'd be more of a plug and play :frowning:

So try this - connect 12V to 12V, and individually ground R, G, and B. You should see each color light up.
