- PIGPIO library installed on your pi - PIGPIO Library
- PHP 5+
- jQuery/Bootstrap libraries for the layout and AJAX. Can use a CDN or locally downloaded version
- jscolor picker library
- Raspberry Pi (this has been tested with Pi 3 and Pi Zero/W)
- Three MOSFET Transistors Type N-Channel - should be a logic-level transistor. E.g. IRL2203 or IRLU024
- RGB LED Strip
- Connectors/Wires and Power sources for Pi and Lights

Nazmus Nasir - Easy Programming
Due to my beginner knowlege of Python, there's a layer of PHP between the JavaScript and actual Python being executed on the Pi. This has been tested on Raspbery Pi 3 and Raspberry Pi Zero. I'll keep updating this when I have time and eventually include a diagram of the connections.
More info on this can be found on https://www.easyprogramming.net/playground/raspberry_pi_led_strip_control.php Feel free to ask questions on Easy Programming.
