Open the plugin's entry in OctoPrint's settings interface, and you should be presented with this view:

Click on the 'LED Strip Settings' button in the top right. The key settings you should edit are listed below:

  • Strip Type Select the type of strip you have connected to your Pi. Note: This may not be exactly what you were sold, sometimes they send variations. If you have issues, please try similar strip types here.

  • Number of LEDs This should be easy, count the number of LEDs you have connected and enter the right number!

  • Max Brightness This setting controls the maximum brightness that your LEDs should reach.

For more details on the rest of these settings, please see the
