Inleiding
Mote is the most stylish way to light your home (or ship)! Ideal for
under-shelf or under-cabinet lighting, or even lighting the way to the
emergency exits on your super-yacht (you have one right?)
Mote consists of a USB controller, with four channels, that connects
via a USB A to micro B cable to your computer, and up to four APA102
RGB LED strips with 16 pixels on each (for a total of 64 pixels per USB
controller, although the firmware can theoretically handle 128 pixels
per channel).
The USB controller can be powered straight from your computer, but
we've provided a power boost port to which you can connect a 2+A power
supply, to boost the pixel brightness to retina-searing levels.
Of course, you can have several USB controllers running on the same
computer, so your only real limitation is providing enough power.
We've designed Mote to work equally well with whatever flavour of
computer you have, be it Linux (inc. Raspberry Pi 3, 2 or B+), Mac, or
Windows.
If you're looking for a more compact
solution, ideal for the Pi Zero, then there's also Mote pHAT that lets
you control your Mote sticks directly through your Pi's GPIO
