Here is an artistic Arduino project for the fun-minded. The circuit is an Arduino RGB LED controller running on a sweet ‘n’ simple code,but with a little hardware surprise outside the Arduino board.

The second LED pixel grabs RGB sequence #2, displays it, and so on until the end of the chain is reached (Fig.4). Advertisement. Fig.4: Programming WS2811 LED drivers requires the 24-bit color code ..

Timing is everything and that’s why most communication protocols require a very accurate clock source. The WS2811 LED strip controllers are no different. But [Danny] figured out a way to driv… ...

Normally, when a project calls for addressable LEDs, we just throw a strip of WS2812s and an Arduino together, cobble together some code from the examples in the FastLED library, and call it a day.… ...

An optional RGB LED attempts to copy the shade of whatever object you’re aiming at, providing a handy reference to verify it’s working correctly. Watch this video on YouTube .
