Neopixel LED ring

---

Just got my Neopixel from China. Works all right with python but I was wondering how you guys and girls are using these… I am a total noob at Jav, but willing to learn
Anybody got some feelings and/or scripts to share???

@Hubald-Alberti I made a moodlight with it, based on MySensors.

@sweebee That’s looking great! Unfortunately i am not using Arduino in my system (yet…)

Wondering what the advantage would be to use Arduino over my current setup… (right now i command the pixels with some Python scripts…)

On Friday arrived strip WS2812b. Finally, one finds that animations are the most important.
I joined him on the ESP-01 (with level converter) and used this software: https://github.com/forkineye/ESPixelStick

Drives it out: http://www.vixenlights.com/ via unicast sACN.

Arduino can also be used as a controller via serial port: https://github.com/CharlesJGantt/Arduino-Vixen-Based-LED-Sequencer

Thinking to write a module for controlling the shows in Vixen server.

Happy xmas

@sweebee thanks for sharing, will try it when I have time.
Is is possible to use a color picker (like pimatic-led-light) with this as well?

@lxz i want to do the same with pimatic-led… i think this could work, because you have to send the hex color code to the node

@lxz No, someone have to add the color picker to the mysensors plugin.

Maybe i can add it to the plugin, but i can’t get the pimatic-led-light plugin installed.

Wow, looking at some great plugins and questions!

And here i am with my Neopixel directly connected to my raspberry, i need to get some arduino’s, no doubt!

Well, i got the dummyled device working without adjusting the mysensors plugin. This is very easy, but the arduino sketch needs to be adjusted to support color, dim level and power.

Will test this evening should work fine. Next thing would be adding the color picker to the mysensors plugin.

Anything new to this topic? I would realy like to use a color picker for the mysensor plugin!
How would I need to add the LED ring or any other LED stripe to the arduino?

Why is that? Further down you said you’re using the DummyLedLight. Can you please clarify? Thanks.

Its an old message. Forgot to install libudev.
