Arduino Basics

Project Description In this project, your heart will control a mesmerising LED sequence on a 5 metre Neopixel LED strip with a ws2812B chipset . Every heart beat will trigger a LED animation that will keep you captivated and attached to your Arduino for ages. The good thing about this project is that it is relatively easy to set up, and requires no soldering. The hardest part is downloading and installing the FastLED library into the Arduino IDE, but that in itself is not too difficult. The inspiration and idea behind this project came from Ali Murtaza , who wanted to know how to get an LED strip to pulse to his heart beat. &nbsp Have a look at the video below to see this project in action.       The Video       Parts Required: Arduino UNO (or compatible board) NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Weatherpr...

The NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip (144 LED/m) is a really impressive product that will have you lighting up your room in next to no time. The 144 individually addressable LEDs packed onto a 1 metre flexible water resistant strip, enables a world of luminescent creativity that will blow your blinking Arduino friends away. The following tutorial will show you how to create an immersive and interactive LED display using an Arduino UNO, a potentiometer and an accelerometer. There will be a total of FIVE LED sequences to keep you entertained or you can create your own !   This tutorial was specifically designed to work with the 144 Neopixel Digital RGB LED strip with the ws2812B chipset.   Parts Required: Arduino UNO (or compatible board) Adafruit 5V 10A switching power supp...
