youtube doesn't woorkk on kindle, its also black and white (it was intended as an ebook) so I ccant even see rgb lol. would i be able to make a colour slide across the strip?

Hahaha sorry didnt know about the kindle. Kinda impressed it would even load a youtube video. hahaha.

Anyway as for your question yes, thats what aRGB can, but regular RGB cannot. (Regular RGB is just 1 color for the whole strip).

 

 

ps aRGB comes in 5V (used in PC's.) and a 12V version, that you can use altho not supported by any motherboard.
(I have 6 meters of the 12V version so it can handle more length. as voltage on a led strip drops about 1V ever 2 meters. and 3V is not enough for those leds).
So that might be a thing to consider. But if you dont go over 2 meters per strip. Or are able to 'inject' power ever 2 meters, 5V will be more then enough.

 


As to complete the information, the actual leds you want are WS2812, which has the chip in the actual led.
WS2811 is a lot cheaper but the chip is outside the led and to reduce costs most of those strips you can control per 3 leds (Not just 1).


WS2812B is an upgraded version of the WS2812 (it has more brightness)

WS2813 is an upgrade for the WS2812B (even more brightness still and higher refresh rate)*
But thats about the led itself, not the strip. But since mentioned a lot, i thought it be good to add here.

 

*oh i forgot the most important part of that, the WS2813 has a function when a led dies, it wont stop there. the signal continues. (Unlike WS2812).

Not sure where this should be posted, but are there any rgb accessories that I can add to my pc? Or just annything that adds a cool factor to it because rgb=col.

I disagree on the RGB=cool (or col if it wasnt a typo).

 

But i do know some about it.
First lets figure out what kind of RGB you want/need.
Are you planning on using your motherboard to connect the RGB too?
As there are 2 types. regular RGB and aRGB where you can adress every led individualy.
RGB uses 4 pins, aRGB uses 3.

 

This will only work for regular RGB (4 pins 12Volts)

And this is only for aRGB (3pins 5Volts)

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!

@HanZie82
What rgb functions could I do with the 2nd onee? Aqlso would it be ccomppatible with a b550 apro msi mob's mystic?

2nd one being aRGB every led can be adressed individually. As in have its own color and brightness.

Meaning you can have led 1 turned on to yellow, led 2 turned off led 3 blue. And so on.
Let me give you an example on youtube.
