Wiring Cables

You'll use the AW9523 driver breakout to control the LEDs. The board is conveniently designed with 16 pairs of pads for the connections to your LEDs. You can wire the LEDs directly (red to Vin, blue to numbered GPIO current-source pin), or do some extra wiring prep to make detachable wiring cable assemblies.

Cable Assembly

Twist the wire pairs to make them more managable. You can do this by hand or chuck them into a drill for speed.

Then, add a short length of heat shrink tubing to each LED wire.

Solder the red LED wire to the red wire of the smaller female JST cable, and the blue LED wire to the black wire of the JST cable. 

Board Cable

Next, solder the larger male JST cable to the driver board. The black wire will go to pin 0, the red to the associated Vin pad.

You can now create cable assemblies for all of the LEDs you want to use. It can be helpful to add color-coded heat shrink tubing to help differentiate the lights.

Lamp Lighting

To light up a typical Winter Village lamp, simply run the LED up through the base as shown.

The translucent yellow brick will look amazing when illuminated from within!
