Projects using this component
WS2812B Usage
Project demonstrating the basic use of the WS2812B addressable LED strip by adjusting the color of each LED independently. Teaches pixel-based color control with the FastLED library.
Police Cigarette Lighter Construction with WS2812B
A project that creates a police strobe effect by rapidly flashing red and blue colors with WS2812B LED strip. Teaches group-based LED control and animation timing logic.
WS2812B Walking Led
Project to create a walking light effect by sequentially moving a single LED forward in a WS2812B LED strip. Teaches pixel-based sequential animation logic.
WS2812B Walking Led(Accumulating)
A fill-drain animation project that accumulates LEDs on a WS2812B LED strip by sequentially lighting them, then sequentially extinguishing them. Teaches accumulative LED animation logic.
WS2812B Black Thunder
Project to create a Knight Rider style black lightning effect by moving a single LED back and forth on the WS2812B LED strip. Teaches bidirectional pixel animation.
WS2812B Black Thunder 3-pack
Project to create a continuously changing rainbow color transition animation on a WS2812B LED strip using HSV color space. Teaches the use of the CHSV color model and the EVERY_N_MILLISECONDS macro.
WS2812B Animation 2
Advanced animation project with FastLED palette system on WS2812B LED strip that automatically changes different color palettes such as rainbow, cloud, party, etc. based on time.
WS2812B Animation 1
Project that creates a continuous scrolling rainbow animation with HSV color space on WS2812B LED strip. It teaches the logic of smooth color transition by changing the hue value depending on time.
ESP32 WS2812B NeoPixel Strip Control
WS2812B (NeoPixel) addressable LEDs are smart RGB LEDs that can be controlled in a daisy-chain configuration via a single data pin. In this project, we will control an 8-LED WS2812B strip using the Adafruit_NeoPixel library to create a smooth rainbow animation. While the ESP32’s 3.3V logic level works seamlessly with most WS2812B components, we’ll demonstrate a solution using a 470Ω series resistor and a 1000µF capacitor in case of instability. The animation is achieved by shifting the hue value
