does anyone know how to set this up?
I want to put these on the wall etc but I have to get it working. However the guides online all have soldering involved, and it looks like its not supposed to be soldered? If anyone has any solid guides etc please let me know.

If it has a plug. Looks like yours does. You can use another plug, or jumper wires to connect to that strip.
@Etienne one side of the strip is an input. that part goes to the Arduino. The other side is Incase u need to connect another strip.
One note, the strip needs its own power supply. The Arduino can not power a strip.@Etienne
Ermmm
So i can just plug it into the arduino and it’ll light up?
No.
You will need code on the Arduino, and you will need a separate power supply, with the grounds tied.
@Etienne please tag this as solved.
Ok i still dont get it though
What connects to what exactly? Like the cords etc
I was in call for 6 hours last night to walk you through it. I have a meeting tonight, but I will still be in call to night for a bit. Idk what time that is for you
The black wire goes to the negitive on the powersupplys.
The red wire goes to the positive wire on the power supply.
The green wire goes to the Arduino.
Another wire goes from Arduino gnd, to the gnd on the powersupplys.

Ok but the thing is its in the little black casing, do I just take it out?
Also just tag me when you would like me to join
You can use mail jumpers
