Connecting the Neopixel strip to an Arduino is quite simple and only requires four wires to complete the circuit. In the diagram above (provided by Adafruit), you will see how to connect the strip ...
Still, Driving this many NeoPixels is a migraine trigger, and we have to give [Josh] credit for doing this with 1K of RAM. Check out the video of [Josh]’s extreme NeoPixel strip below.
You are stuck at home quarantined and you want to do some Arduino projects. The problem is you don’t have all the cool devices you want to use. Sure, you can order them, but the stores are sl… ...
Typical specifications of WS2812B is shown below. One thing to remember when powering an addressable LED strip (not a single one) in your project is that you should ensure that a separate power supply ...
Here's a nice one for those looking to incorporate LEDs with a touch or proximity switch into a project: the company Bare Conductive shows how to use an LED strip light with its Touch Board. The ...
The NeoPixel RGB Neon-like LED Flex Strip contains 60 LED along the meter but in groups of 3-LEDs-per-pixel. So basically, in your NeoPixel program, this looks like a 20-pixel-long strand.
Tribal2 is using a Raspberry Pi to drive this cool interactive LED world map that integrates with his smart home setup.
Love Arduino but hate the GUI? Try arduino-cli. In this article, I explore a new tool released by the Arduino team that can free you from the existing Java-based Arduino graphical user interface. This ...
The Powerduino is essentially a smart power strip. Included inside are current sensors, a Wi-Fi module, and other parts so that the power strip monitors each socket and transmits that data over Wi-Fi.
Fig.1: The NeoPixel LED Strip in its native habitat. Courtesy of Adafruit Labs There are several types of LED strips but this article will focus on driving LED arrays which use WS2811 4 and WS2812 4 ...
