LEDStripeController

Control LED Stripes with an Arduino. Check out the demo video.

Setup

To use the LED Stripe library in your own Arduino project, make sure to include it in your .ino file:

#include "LEDStrip.h"

Now create an instance and specify the 3 pins for RGB:

LEDStrip led(redPin, greenPin, bluePin);

To use the LED strip, turn it on in your setup method:

void setup() {
	led.turnOn();
}

This will restore the last manually set (non-black) color, by default white.

You can use the Color struct to define RGBA colors (red, green, blue, alpha).

Color myFancyColor = {255,150,0,255};

To actually change the color of the LED strip, use the setColor(Color newColor) method:

led.setColor(myFancyColor);
led.setColor(led.RED); // some colors are predefined

You can also invoke a smooth fade on the LED strip, use the fadeToColor(Color newColor) method for that:

led.fadeToColor(led.RED);
led.fadeToColor(led.RED, led.FADE_SPEED_SLOW); // optional speed parameter
