I’m not going to go too deeply into how Arduino works or how to use it, because that’s a topic I’ll cover in a future guide. For the particular strip I bought, that library is available here. For this you need the Arduino IDE (which includes the Arduino USB driver), as well as a library that allows you to control the chips on the LED strip. Hopefully you’ll be inspired.įinally, you need to use your computer to send a program to the Arduino for it to execute using the LEDs. Instead, I’m going to look at some cool components that could be a major part of lots of different projects. But I’m going to refrain from calling out specific projects to work on not only would my list probably be unhelpful (there’s only so many ways to write “ build a fighting robot“), it sort of defeats the point of the whole endeavor, which is to express yourself through creating something suitable to your own abilities and interests.

So I’m starting up a new series of articles that I hope will help you get your bearings on what’s possible. And as a maker, just getting started can be the hardest part: deciding what to work on next, or if you’re new to the scene, what to work on first. One of the greatest things about the Maker scene is that there’s just so much of it-it encompasses everything from rocketry to hydroponics.
LED's provide bright, colorful and (in some cases) customizable light, and by buying them in strip form you save yourself a lot of time and effort at the soldering bench.įor more content become a premium member, subscribe to our YouTube channel and check out our weekly podcast with Adam Savage! Today, we're going to explore the uses of LED strip lighting-a great, simple component that can add a lot of visual impact to any project.
