Hello

I have a 4 pin RGB strip (picture in attachment)

How do I connect it to Microbit board? I mean which pin in in the strip is connected to each pin in the board?

And what pins combination will generate each color?

Thank you!

This is an analogue LED strip. You won't be able to drive it directly from a micro:bit, but you'll need 3 N-Channel MOSFETs plus an external power supply and use three digital output lines to PWM the RGB channels to make different colours.
