Welcome to our Neopixel wiki by Einstein
What do we use for this project
- Neopixel Ledstrip WS2812 60leds/mtr
- Controlerboard
- Arduino Ethernet (ready for networking features :))
- STM
Other stuff you might need
- Networkcable
- USB cable
- Powersupply
Control
Arduino
Connecting
Hardware
- Connect your Neopixel LED strip DI to pin6 of your Arduino
- Connect +5V and GND to your Arduino
Software
- #define NUM_LIGHTS 4 //Number off connected leds (i use 4 in all sources, please change to 60 for 1 meter)
- #define PIN 6 //Pin 6 for Data

Using colorcodes.h instead of rgb values in code, because i got tired of typing numbers :)
use this file and include it in the source File:colorcodes.h.txt
