A Christmas star with Neopixel LEDs
A geeky Christmas decoration made with 56 LED Neopixel and controlled via an Arduino Micro board: Let’s take a look, therefore, at the project’s electrical section, that is essentially composed of a set of 56 Neopixel LEDs, that have been arranged so to form two concentric stars;...
