Greetings And before anything thanks for the great ressources. I am testing an arduino uno on a 704 addressable led strip. The connections of all the 704 leds work fine with a symphony controller....

Hi Artomat, I’ve never used that many LEDs haha. It seems you have power under control, connection wise.Maybe more power could help (max 704 * 60 mA = 42 A, avg 704 * 20 Ma = 14 A – so I’m thinking 26...

Apologies for the late reply … I’ve been swamped with work lately .. I suppose for a nice shimmering effect, one would like to use multi-tasking – something the Arduino is not designed for (with some...

Hi LED Bloke Apologies for the late response … The idea to use a relay isn’t a bad one. But I’d imagine a second Arduino would control the relay then.I have not yet played with Bluetooth so I cannot...

After using Code Blocks and Sublime Text for C++ and Python, the Arduino IDE seems a little bit incomplete for me. It doesn’t show you a list with variables and functions when you start to type their...

Hi John, I’ve looked at a few alternatives, but in my experience the lack of, or incomplete support of, library management and supported boards, kind-a eliminates most of them for me.So I’m sticking...

I usually wouldn’t think about that either – but since they are cheap and you’d solve the interrupt issue with that, this may work!

Great thread and great topic! But there is one thing missing unless I somehow missed it. Is there a parts list and pinout for the Arduino?

Hi bleuraeder, at page 2 you will find the whole code at #post-13374 I don´t know how much knowledge you have about Arduino, so I don´t know how much I need to describe. There is no part list. But you...
