Pin 1 of the 3-pin header is a 5V power supply, but may not provide sufficient current for the
extended LED strip (when connected a lot). Therefore, if the user needs to connect more than one
LED strip, please do not connect the pin.1 of the 3-pin header, please supply it to the LED strip by
an external 5V power supply.
Pin 2 of the header is a serial control signal with a voltage level of 5V. The user can define an
arbitrary waveform to output.
Pin 3 is grounded. Please note that if the external light strip is attached, the ground of the light strip
should be connected to this pin.
