This software helps you manage addressable LED strips. It works with a small, low-cost chip to change your lighting patterns. You can select from seven colors and adjust how bright your lights appear. The system remembers your settings even after you turn the power off.
You need a computer running Windows 10 or Windows 11. Ensure you have a standard USB port to connect your hardware controller. No special technical background is necessary to use the files provided in this repository.
Follow these steps to get the software on your computer:
The controller uses a single physical button to handle operations. Once you connect your LED strip to the hardware, you can cycle through the seven pre-programmed colors with a single press. If you hold the button down, the software initiates a brightness ramp. This allows you to set the intensity levels to match your room environment. The memory feature saves your current color and brightness state to the board. When you reconnect power later, the lights return to the exact look you chose last time.
If the LEDs do not light up, check all wire connections between the controller and the strip. Ensure the power supply matches the requirements for your specific LED strip model. Most issues relate to loose wires or incorrect voltage settings on the power supply unit. If the hardware fails to respond, restart the board by disconnecting and reconnecting the main power source.
