LED 5050 GPIO Dashboard

OK good news then.

Obviously as you seem to be aware controlling colour for the 5050 LEDs is a matter of sending a PWM signal to each of the chips in the module i.e. different PWM frequencies on each of the 3 legs will control the colour.

Now on a Rpi PWM is a little problematic and will probably end up with noticeable flicker as the OS is not realtime and there is no hardware PWM so keep this in mind

Here is a thread that covers much of what you will need to do
