- fadecandy - other shop (boards based on teensy)
power supply
- 1.8 to 2.0 amps for 1 meter LED strips full white
software
first try
first experiments are done with simple light library to control LED strips by Raspberry Pi and build a demo mobile app to detect sound meter and blinken the LEDs by sound.
light library
first experimental library to control LED strips with WS2801 ICs by PWM.

- 15m of WS2812b LED strips with 60 LEDs / m
- 2 fadecandy boards (synced by software)
- everything mount on one 50x50 cm aluminium plate
- on front one 50x50 cm plexiglas plate to diffuse the light
