While many of these POV setups use custom PCBs and discrete LEDs, [Andrew]’s design uses readily available off-the-shelf components: WS2811 LED strips, an Arduino, an Invensense IMU breakout ...

There are several types of LED strips but this article will focus on driving LED arrays which use WS2811 4 and WS2812 4 driver chips. This is in part because products like Adafruit’s NeoPixel strips ...

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.… ...

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 ...
