Introduction The Lumenati line of LED boards is designed to give your projects an edge in their lighting capacity. Based on the APA102C addressable LED, these LEDs employ a 2-wire communication protocol consisting of a clock line and a data line. While this requires one more wire than standard WS2812B addressable LEDs, the advantage is that the communication …
Step 1: Components needed An Arduino Yun (Wifi Enabled!) – You could use another Arduino with a Wifi Shield though. A Protoshield with (or without) a tiny breadboard a regular breadboard will work as well, but will be less compact. If you want to solder more, you can just use a small circuit board instead. …
