Requirements and setup

What you need

The requirements for this program is very simple.

• An Arduino (Almost any Arduino can work (All that supports Adafruits NeoPixel library))
• Adafruits NeoPixel library
• NeoPixels (Or any of the pixel types supported by Adafruits NeoPixel library)
• An external power supply for the LEDs
• A USB cable from the PC to the Arduino

Thats it! All configurations are done from the PC, so you only have to upload the default .ino file supplied.

What are the limits of this program?

This program supports up to 8 LED strips, at a total of 128 LEDs stable. It is possable to push that number at bit higher, but it is not recommended, since most Arduinos only have 2kb og memory.

The pins that are supported are preset to pin 0 to 7. (These can be changed if desired in the .ino file)

How do i set it up?

A setup could look like this:

Where the data pin could be on any of the pins from 0-7

Do i need to configure anything in the .ino file?

From a normal standpoint, no, all configurations for the strips are done from the PC. If you want to run more LEDs using a diffrent Arduino with more than 2kb of memory, you can change all the default macros in the top of the .ino file.
