Description:

Arduino Nano-based board that is used to drive up to 4 strands of Neopixel RGB LEDs.

Each strand of LEDs can be driven separately, or strands are combined as 1&2 and 3&4.

Pressing the GO button will cycle you through a number of display patterns.

 

v1.1 changes are cosmetic.

 

Features:

 - 12v supply from car or motorcycle

 - Diode protection on the input

 - On/Off switch, Power-On LED

 - Go button LED flashes each time the GO button is pressed to change the display pattern

 

Power Input:

 - Screw terminal for 12v DC from car or motorcycle

 

 

Arduino C/C++ Code:

I am writing some code in C that will execute each time the GO button is pressed. For now you can test two strands of Neopixels with the Adafruit code, RGBWstrandtest.ino

 

Video:

In the video I have "horseshoed" the two 30-LED strands so you can see the patterns start and finish.
