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

See the gist file for a sample code to show some letters: https://gist.github.com/markkuleino/65c1d48b05597e7f92b15a47b3d49435
