This is the first question I need answered in order to start on my led light show project:
Can the commands in this sketch be executed on multiple devices via wireless rather than a push button on the device? If not, is there another sketch or project that can do that?
In a nut shell, can a wireless controller execute the same command on 25 different devices?
Hardware:
WS2812B LED Strip DC 5V
Arduino mini or nano
NRF24L01+ 2.4GHz radio or ESP8266 radio
(I would use a strip rather than a color wheel.)
// This is a demonstration on how to use an input device to trigger changes on your neo pixels.
// You should wire a momentary push button to connect from ground to a digital IO pin. When you
// press the button it will change to a new pixel animation. Note that you need to press the
// button once to start the first animation!
#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>
#define BUTTON_PIN 5 // Digital IO pin connected to the button. This will be
// driven with a pull-up resistor so the switch should
// pull the pin to ground momentarily. On a high -> low
// transition the button press logic will execute.
#define PIXEL_PIN 4 // Digital IO pin connected to the NeoPixels.
#define PIXEL_COUNT 16
// Parameter 1 = number of pixels in strip, neopixel stick has 8
// Parameter 2 = pin number (most are valid)
// Parameter 4 = pixel type flags, add together as needed:
// NEO_RGB Pixels are wired for RGB bitstream
// NEO_GRB Pixels are wired for GRB bitstream, correct for neopixel stick
// NEO_KHZ400 400 KHz bitstream (e.g. FLORA pixels)
// NEO_KHZ800 800 KHz bitstream (e.g. High Density LED strip), correct for neopixel stick
