RGB LED Strip
#1
I have found a couple posts that seem to get close to what I'm asking here, but I'm not quite finding what I need. Also, I'm a novice so I may have read a solution and it went over my head. I have a standard 12v RGB LED strip that I want to control using the lighting module. The four (4) wires are R, G, B, & +12v. How would I wire that up?

You can connect that to the DC ports. The +12v wire would go to any DC port +12v pin and the RGB wires go to the ground of the DC ports. For individual control you would use 3 DC ports, one color to each ground of each port. You could also connect all color wires to same DC ground to control them as one. With that said the DC ports are only good for 5 amps overall so it can't handle to many LEDs. One of these days I really need to make an extension that can handle lots of LED strips.

Got it. Thanks again!
