need help with ws2812B wiring with pico fighting board v1.1

[heavymitts]

Good Day All,

I need help in wiring my ws2812B to the pico fighting board v1.1. I would like to ask if you have any pictures on how you wired them on your v1.1 pico.

I also would like to ask if I am suppose to press something to turn on the LED once connected, or does it light up right away as soon it is connected to a ps4 or pc?

Thank you again.

The JST connector on the end of the board labeled RGB LEDS is where you would connect your LED strip. The LED strip should have 3 wires to connect, and they will connect to the pins labeled DATA, GND and 5V (the extra 5V pin is for compatibility with older fightstick LED systems). If you're using a build of GP2040 or GP2040-CE for the Pico Fighting Board the LEDs should start right away. From there you can use shortcuts to modify their behavior: https://gp2040-ce.info/#/usage?id=rgb-leds

I couldnt understand pico fighting boards 5 volt terminal connections. there is no connections in 5v when I open it with kicad. I have to connections on my ws2812b led strip. GND, Data and 5v. And I dont know what happens if I connect these 3 pin to pico fighting board. Because 5v pin is empty on PCB, no connection any hole.

The top pour on the board is 5V connected to VBUS. The 5V screw terminal, 5V pins on the 20-pin header, and 5V pins in the RGB connector are connected to that pour.
