Features: RGB, Surface Mount, 12V Forward Voltage
LEDS
Features: RGB, Discrete, VDD Range (+3.3V ~ +5.5V)
Voltage Regulator
https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/texas-instruments/LFC789D25CDR/668547
Features: VIN (9V ~16V), 2 outputs
Resistors (Note: out of stock)
Features: 500 Ohm Resistors, Tolerance 0.1%
Calculations:
Resistors:
Power Supply Voltage Range: +3.7 V ~ +5.5 V
Forward Voltage: 12V
Desired LED Current: 10mA to 15mA
Resistance= (Power Supply V - LED V)/Desired LED Current
Maximum Resistance:
(12-3.7)/0.010=830 ohms rounded to 900 ohms
Minimum Resistance:
(12-5.5)/0.015= 433.3 ohms rounded to 500 ohms
Timeline:
March 13 2022, researching components needed for the led strip
March 15 2022, agreed to use option 2, calculated LED resistance and found smd resistors. Finalized part selection for the project, awaiting response from EE Leads.
