3. Setup Guide
3.1 Wiring Instructions
Ensure the power supply matches the voltage requirements of your LED strip (DC 5V-24V). Connect the LED strip to the corresponding output terminals on the SP530E controller. Use the provided screwdriver for secure connections.
- PWM LED Strip (No IC Chip): Connect V+ to V+, and R, G, B, CW, WW to their respective terminals based on your strip type (Monochrome, CCT, RGB, RGBW, RGBCCT).
- SPI TTL IC Chip LED Strip/Matrix: Connect V+ to V+, Data to DAT, and GND to GND. For 4-pin strips, connect Backup Data to BDAT if applicable.
- Mixed SPI+PWM LED Strip: Connect both types of strips to their respective terminals as described above.
