I am working on a simple project to control a 8-LED WS2812B pixel strip from a Raspberry Pi Zero. Nothing fancy, just want to be able to send instructions from the Pi to the strip and have the LED intensity and color controlled via (Python?) script. I have some resistors, the WS2812 strip by Nulsom, the Pi, and the GPIO breakout and breadboard kit. What's the best way to connect this? I've seen some Arduino instructions thay say to use pin 9 on the Arduino which is a digital out and supports PWM. Is that the same as pin 21 (PCM DOUT) on the Pi, or should I be using a generic GPIO pin (i.e. 11) on the Pi? Do I need to add any resistors, capacitors or transistors? I appreciate any help!
