Can I control 12 volt WS2811 Pixels with the PI Hat.

Hello I have used a pi hat running 5 volt pixels, but I recently purchased some 12 volt C9 Ws2811 Pixels to run in my show off my PI Hat what do I need to change to Run the new 12 volt C9s off the Hat.

Thanks

That depends.  If everything is moving to 12V then you just need to switch the PI Hat to 12V mode (move the jumper) and hook it up to a 12V power supply and you should be good to go.  If you are still using 5V as well, then just connect the power wire from the 12V nodes to your 12V supply and connect the grounds from the 2 supplies together.  The data wire and ground can remain connected to the hat as they are now.
