The best, most thorough tutorial for getting started with the FastLED library, a WS2812b light strip, and an Arduino Nano. This full FastLED tutorial covers all the basics for getting going and controlling your LED light strip with an Arduino Nano. We'll talk about hardware and software setup, play with some programming, and then talk about chaining WS2812b LED strips together and the power requirements when doing this. 📚Chapters: 0:00 Intro 0:20 Hardware setup 3:45 Software setup 10:52 Oops... Better hook up power to the light strip 13:12 Let's use ALL the lights! 18:27 Chain multiple strips together/External power supply setup 20:50 Outro 👉 I MADE A PROGRAMMING MISTAKE!!! Check out this video for the correction: 👉 Ant LED's. PEW! PEW! 👉 BETTER Ant LED's! 👉 Want to control the lights with a keypad? 👉 Four Wire Light Strips - the fourth wire is a clock signal typically and requires just a little extra set up. The FastLED Github page discusses the extra steps required. Here's the links: Extra Hardware Info: Extra Code Setup: 👉 All About USB Ports: 👉 LED Lights for RC Car Part 3: Troubleshooting 👉 Get the Arduino IDE software here: 👉 CH340 drivers - if you are having trouble downloading to your Nano: 👉 Just for Fun: 👉 Arduino Language Reference Page: 👉 FastLED Library Examples: 👉 Other Code Examples from Video: 👉 LED Lights for RC Car Playlist: 👉 Get the stuff for this project: “As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.” Arduino Nano: Breadboard: Breadboard Wire: Dupont Wire (for light strip): Resistors: Capacitor: WS2812B Light Strip: LED Pigtail Wire Leads (for multiple light strips - not necessary): 💥T-shirts and stuff... if you want to be supportive and cool. ⚡ Plug in on Social Media! ⚡ ⚡ Website: ⚡ #ledlights #arduino #FastLED #LED #WS2812b
