#007 Programmable LED Arrays

The Build

Notes

I bought some WS2811-based LED Strips with a specific project in mind. But first, need to get them working. Here are the first tests… all good so far!

  • RGBCalibrate - quick test to make sure LEDs are correctly addressable and their color can be set correctly
  • StripTease - demo a range of effects on the LED strip
  • AsyncLedStripEffects - timer-interrupt triggering of addressable LED array effects

Construction

Designed with Fritzing: see LEDArrayDemos.fzz.

About LEAP

LEAP is my personal collection of electronics projects - usually involving an Arduino or other microprocessor in one way or another. Some are full-blown projects, while many are trivial breadboard experiments, intended to learn and explore something interesting.

Projects are often inspired by things found wild on the net, or ideas from the many great electronics podcasts and YouTube channels. Feel free to borrow liberally, and if you spot any issues do let me know or send a pull-request.

NOTE: For a while I included various scale modelling projects here too, but I've now split them off into a new repository: check out LittleModelArt if you are looking for these projects.
