Just because I'm no expert in electronics, but I would have though this needing a separated power supply. How come the Arduino can handle the current for all this leds? Thanks for the demo will try to get my hand on some of this, they look like a lot of fun to experiment with and use in different projects.
the arduiino is not supplying the current, a 5v supply is supplying the leds and the arduino, the light of the leds is controlled by serial data on the data pin of the first led which passes that serial data to the 2nd, and the 3rd etc, the leds themselves do the switching of the rgb light with their own built in little processor. with this method you can have as many leds as you want provided you have a power supply that can supply the current for them all being on at once. I used 400 12v versions of these leds and 5v for the arduino from a 12v+5v supply, used them on the tree last year
@@lezbriddon Oh I see. So the 5v just go thru the Arduino and it's not like if the 5v were coming from a pin set to output. I guess that's the key here.
I guess you don't know the WLED software yet. Look it up. Use an ESP2866 or ESP32 with it and you can control your lights with your smartphone or pc directly with over 100 effects. You can even make it react to sound if you add a microphone board.
Support the channel with sharing with your friends,thank you
Maybe do a WLED with the ESP8266 that you showed a couple of days ago.
Good idea,I will use the ESP module
Awesome looking LEDs, dude! 😮
Thanks for sharing!!!
I hope you had a great Christmas!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!

You need to power the leds with direct voltage from power adapter 5v at least 2amps

Yes you can try that too,I share the simple way
Do you have a link to the song you used?
Out of All My Relations (feat. Go by Ocean) by Ryan McCaffrey
Sorry
I love that
Keep it up
Thx for support sir👍
Cooooool🎉
Its looking great
You forgot to include an "epilepsy warning"!
Sorry😔
@@Hacktuber Not for me, for others, I wrote my comment in general.

Hello 👍
FIRST!
Thx 👍
