Continued - Hack into a Commercial LED Strip - Group Project & Open Lab

Details

We will continue building a programmed LED strip. We will explore how a resistor can control the 12V circuit, and how to use Python to do a complex light display.

With cheap multi-color LED strips, this is now easier than ever. While cheap strips often have pre-built controllers, I suspect they are easy enough to hack into! Let's give it a shot!

We will be using this commercial LED Strip:

Come to this great talk for holiday ideas, and to learn about LED strips, and programming principles.
