Description: Using an Arduino or a micro controller we can generate cool looking patterns with an led strip with addressable LEDs. In this case I'm using an Arduino uno (clone board) and a strip of ...

This is a where a Power Mosfet comes in. With the help of the Power Mosfet, we can use the low voltage output from the Arduino ports to control high voltage/current loads -the popular “12V LED strips” ...

Bucking the downward trend [HansLuijten] provides an astoundingly thorough set of LED strip patterns in his comprehensive post titled Arduino LED strip effects.

All are held in place by a ring of hardware with spacers in them, and the RGB LED strip that is used to display time and date wraps around those spacers.
