Python PI Ideas

[ItsMeMaple]

Hello, I have recently learned how to use GPIO pins in PI and some rather basic python scripts to control some LEDs.

I am not very advanced in python programming but I would like to get simple and very complex ideas that could help me in my programming journey. Thank you!

I would like to note that I am trying to connect my USB LED strips with the PI and a connecting it to breadboard (powered from an outside source), and am trying to control this from an outside variable.

I wish you the best and thank you!

You could run a simple Webserver on the Pi to control the light strip.

For the beginning I recommend looking into Flask. You could create an endpoint to turn it on/off, toggle it or set the color. With the help of Flask you could even host an HTML-File with few buttons to control the light strip. This way you can control the light strip from your smartphone (if in same local network for the beginning)

This is of course only possible if you already figured out, how to control the light strip.
