Do I need a controller for RGB?
The “Rainbow” 3-pin headers are Addressable RGB (ARGB) connectors. It looks like you’re installing more than 8 lighting units and you only have two ARGB connectors and one RGB connector…so you need either splitters or a controller. A controller has additional power (SATA) to run several units.
Can a Raspberry Pi use an RGB LED strip?
Anyone who has already used an RGB LED strip (such as Ambilight) can continue to use the accessories. This includes the following in addition to a Raspberry Pi *: The maximum power of the power supply depends on the number of LEDs. According to the data sheet, an LED under full load (= maximum brightness) needs about 60mA.
Which is the best version of Raspberry Pi?
Raspberry Pi 4 B version with 8GB memory and layout of power supply components updated. Fourth edition of raspberry pi. Smaller version of raspberry pi 3b+ with less RAM. Raspberry pi 3 with updated components. Raspberry pi zero with wifi and bluetooth. The worst specifications Raspberry Pi microcomputer, same as pi zero, but less ram.
What kind of power cable does Raspberry Pi use?

Why are my LEDs not working on my Raspberry Pi?
You will not break the LEDs if you connect them the wrong way round – they will just not light. If you find that they do not light in your circuit, it may be because they have been connected the wrong way round. You must ALWAYS use resistors to connect LEDs up to the GPIO pins of the Raspberry Pi.
