Also you can customize it and set your own custom effects as well. And you will get a nice web interface to change the speed, brightness of the LEDs and the animations over the air.
There are more than 55 different effects and animation to choose from. For more additional freatures checkout WS2812FX library.
NEOPIXEL DRIVER CONTROLLER INSTALL
Programming You need to install Adafruit NeoPixel Library in order to run the LEDs. Power For powering the module there is DC barrel jack connector which can also power up the LEDs.
NEOPIXEL DRIVER CONTROLLER PLUS
Plus there is a I2C Pinouts for connecting additional sensors like DS3231 RTC or MPU6050 Accelerometer and Gyro Sensor. Besides there is push button for charging the modes or anything else. It also has a DHT11 sensor for getting the current temperature value. Which can be used to adjust the brightness or dim the LEDs, depending on the ambient light. Sensors Talking about the sensors, It has a LDR connected to Analog input of the ESP8266. also any wiring configuration is supported, including strips, matrix panels, or other custom configurations. It is capable of supporting up to 5,000 APA102 LED or 2500 WS2812 LEDs. Arduino library for controlling single-wire-based LED pixels and strip such as the Adafruit 60 LED/meter Digital LED strip, the Adafruit FLORA RGB Smart Pixel, the Adafruit Breadboard-friendly RGB Smart Pixel, the Adafruit NeoPixel Stick, and the Adafruit NeoPixel Shield. Supported LED types PixyMaster supports various kinds of LED types such as WS2811, WS2812/WS2812b (aka NeoPixel), WS2813, WS2815, SK6812 RGB or RGBW, and WS2801 LEDs are also supported. This allows us to install the LED strips anywhere without any problem. We can simply do that from a web browser on our smartphone or desktop. For every FadeCandy sold Micah from Scanlime was paid, Micah's work can be supported on. WiFi Connectivity As the heart of the project is ESP8266, a powerful WiFi enabled microcontroller, so we don’t need to change the program every time we want to try some new animations or effects. Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits FadeCandy - Dithering USB-Controlled Driver for RGB NeoPixels : ID 1689 - This collaboration was between Adafruit & Micah from Scanlime, Fadecandy, a NeoPixel driver with built in dithering, that can be controlled over USB.
despite of having small size it has some great features to offer.
The size of the PCB is 25x50mm which is great for both indoor and outdoor applications. Size : The board is tiny enough to fit inside any small enclosure. With that in mind I made this Neopixel LED driver board. But What more interesting is that if it can be control over the internet. That certainly a great advantage over regular LEDs. Neopixel LEDs aka WS2812b addressable RGB LEDs are very easy to use, because it has built in driver IC which allows us to control tons of such LEDs using only one Data line from the microcontroller. This is a Addresable LED controller board based on ESP8266 microcontroller.
