- IRLB8721 N channel mosfets (full 24 volt output to led strips)
- pin 1 gate, pin 2 drain, pin 3 source
- wiring the mosfets
- connect gate pin to the PWM pin on the Pico
- connect drain pin to the color to control on your led strip
- connect source pin to your power supply of choice
- if using an external power supply than the one for the Pico connect a ground pin from the Pico to the ground of your power supply

- proof of concept using salvaged IOR IRFP350 N channel mosfets
- only partial voltage was passed to led strips due to the mosfet not having a high enough voltage to operate
