because I have the project to redo my office with an addressable led strip that goes with an arduino uno
the problem is that I do not understand and I would like to understand, how we do for the connection of addressable leds with an arduino uno and the power supply
I would like wifi or bluetooth too but already from my pc it would be not bad
so my question what it takes to have an addressable led strip that I can drive this
equipment list
5 V WS2812B LED strip 5050 RGB 150 led Ip 67 addressable in 4 see 5 meters
what food too? this one AC adapter 5V 2A?
an Arduino uno
I imagine 100uF and 1000uF capacitors how to place it and where
after this no resistance of 220 or 470 ohm the same how to place it and where
and wire level quest that I need
for wifi
or for the same bluetooth
Budget 20 to 30 euro I think it's possible
I said that I don't know much about it but who doesn't try anything
WiFi? Use ESP8266 module such as WeMOS D1 mini. Forget UNOs, they are for playing with.
An Arduino for a non-WiFi project would be a Nano, or a Pro Mini if you will not need serial interface or later programming.
ESP8266 generates 3.3 V outputs which will likely not drive the WS2812 strip reliably. You need two gates in cascade of a 74HCT14 to boost the 3.3 V data to 5 V.
Thank you for your answer, in fact I think I will drop the wifi if we can control it from the computer it would be the best, now for the ESP8266 you also need an Arduino no, I'm not a beginner just a person who tries to mount an addressable led strip and programmed it, because no knowledge in this apart from welding that I will be doing, that's why I ask your help and thanks to your help I would be doing it thank you for your answer
I have something else to say
'Cause I don't think wifi will really serve me
Since it's in my office
I can use software to control my addressable led strip with a nano in this case and why I can not use a uno tell me
Because my budget and tighten maxi 30 euro for the whole knowing that I will surely order in China thank you for your help
By cons for the previous massage for the assembly and those I need that I need to know thank you to you
The UNO is not very practical for actual projects as it has sockets instead of pins and does not fit a "breadboard". In regard to that, it is true that solderless breadboards are not appropriate for permanent use (and many say they are not appropriate even for prototyping ) but due to the odd pin spacing, the UNO will not mount to stripboard or perfboard and similar either.
The Nano if fitted with its pins, will easily mount to stripboard or perfboard or a custom PCB as a daughterboard. If pins are not fitted (as the clones usually come with them separate), you can solder wires directly to the pads. And the Nano is more compact and generally cheaper.
