This a simple arduino based led controller code.
Connect the cables and the resistor like the image
In the arduino file, change the "4" number to your led strip controllable leds number. "#define NUM_LEDS 4".
Change the "2" number to your data pin (green line). "#define PIN 2 "
Change a the "WS2811" ledstrip name to yours. "FastLED.addLeds<WS2811, PIN, GRB>(leds, NUM_LEDS).setCorrection( TypicalLEDStrip );"(exaples below)
Upload the .ino file to the arduino with the arduino IDE
Compile the Arduled desktop app with visual studio.

#include <FastLED.h>
// How many leds in your strip?
#define NUM_LEDS 1
// For led chips like WS2812, which have a data line, ground, and power, you just
// need to define DATA_PIN. For led chipsets that are SPI based (four wires - data, clock,
// ground, and power), like the LPD8806 define both DATA_PIN and CLOCK_PIN
// Clock pin only needed for SPI based chipsets when not using hardware SPI
#define DATA_PIN 3
#define CLOCK_PIN 13
// Define the array of leds
CRGB leds[NUM_LEDS];
