Mote – Complete Kit (Host + 4 Sticks + Cables)

Description Show Reviews Mote is the most stylish way to light your home (or ship)! Ideal for under-shelf or under-cabinet lighting, or even lighting the way to the emergency exits on your super-yacht (you have one right?) Mote consists of aUSB controller, with fourchannels, that connects viaa USB A to micro B cable to your computer, and up to four APA102 RGB LED strips with 16 pixels on each (for a total of 64 pixels per USB controller, although the firmware can theoretically handle 128 pixels per channel). The USB controller can be powered straight from your computer, but Pimoroni has provided a power boost port to whichyou can connect a 2+A power supply, to boost the pixel brightness to retina-searing levels. Of course, you can have several USB controllers running on the same computer, so your only real limitation is providing enough power. They’ve designed Mote to work equally well with whatever flavour of computer you have, be it Linux (inc. Raspberry Pi 3, 2 or B+), Mac, or Windows.
