About this event
Learn how to work with programmable RGB LEDs and how to implement them into your own creations. This course will start with a beginner-friendly introduction to working with LEDs, power requirements, wiring, and progress to covering how to work with NeoPixels and Arduino.
NeoPixels are programmable LEDs that only need one data-wire to control hundreds of RGB LEDs, making designs compact, scalable, and possible to create artistic designs and interactive displays.
