The video below shows off the RGB LED Strip that I have in my living room which I control with my phone. The set up is fairly simple. To access the code, please feel free to fork the Github repository here: https://github.com/nlinux1/Nazberrypi-RGB

The front-end is just basic JavaScript (and jQuery) which takes user input from a browser. It was done with the Bootstrap CSS framework so it's responsive and looks decent on mobile. Definitely not complex at all! The custom JavaScript file is just a 145 lines, and about 80 of those lines are a switch statement with the custom colors that you see. 

The backend is not the most efficient but since I'm not very adpet with Python, I have a PHP layer in between the Python and JavaScript. The JavaScript sends data to the PHP script via AJAX and the PHP script then triggers a Python command to change the colors. The python script alters the red, green, and blue lights individually, and together, they look like what you see in the video. 

I will work on hardware diagrams so please be sure to subscribe for updates. For now, the hardware you will need are:

1. Raspberry Pi (this has been tested with Pi 3 and Pi Zero/W)
2. Three MOSFET Transistors Type N-Channel - should be a logic-level transistor. E.g. IRL2203 or IRLU024
3. RGB LED Strip
4. Connectors/Wires and Power sources for Pi and Lights

For the software and the RGB control, you will also need the PIGPIO library installed on your pi - <a href="http://abyz.me.uk/rpi/pigpio/pigpiod.html" rel="nofollow">PIGPIO Library</a>. It's a free library and very easy to use. I'm planning on redoing my project and writing and recording all the steps!
