Introduction
Make a 7x8 led matrix using WS2811 led strips.
Theory
Building the box
Wiring
Be careful to wire +5V to +5V (I broke one led). Soldering the leds is manageable: add the solder to both the led connector and to the wire, the attach the wire to the led connector and warm it using the soldering iron.
-
Programming. No +5V is needed.
-
Running only.
Programming
The programs are in the github:
- See the gist file for a sample code to show some letters: https://gist.github.com/markkuleino/65c1d48b05597e7f92b15a47b3d49435
- The 7x8 font https://github.com/ileskanRepot/Arduino_RGB_WS2811_8_leds/blob/master/wave/wave.c/letters.h

Debugging
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600); // open the serial port at 9600 bps:
}
void loop(){
Serial.print();
}
