Hi All,
I'm trying to control a WS2812B LED strip (will be a matrix soon),
Unfortunately, I'm having trouble finding a proper chart or documentation on how to wire the Pi and LED strip together.

Any one can shed some light on this for me?

:idea:
Thanks!

Hi, if you're using my image the wiring is provided in the PDF I sent you.
However I doubt the Pi is able to properly handle 2812 strips. I had success with 2801.

For any future users of ws8212 / ws8211 strips:

I implemented a solution and documented it here: https://keawe.de/en/led-matrix
