The led segment (SPI Slave) I have got has the pin names - VCC, GND, DN, CS, CLK. The raspberry pi model is 3 model B version 1.2. The segment model is XC-3714.

Is my understanding correct here that this is how I need to connect the pins? I don't want to damage the GPIO headers.

1) DN should be connected with MOSI of Raspberry PI i.e PIN 19.
2) CS - not sure where to connect this?
3) CLK should be connected with CLK of Raspberry PI i.e PIN 23.
4) GN should be connected with PIN 9 Raspberry pI - ground pin.
5) VCC should be connected with PIN 17 Raspberry PI - 3.3 volts.

It uses the SPI0.0 interface

  • Pin#24 GPIO08 CE0 connects to CS
  • pin#19 GPIO10 MOSI connects to DIN
  • pin#21 GPIO09 MISO unconnected
  • pin#23 GPIO11 CLK connects to CLK
  • pin#20 GND connects to GN
  • pin#17 3.3V connects to VCC
