HOW TO USE WS2812B NEOPIXELS WITH FASTLED ON ARDUINO

Here I show how to get started using WS2812B Neopixels on Arduino with the FastLED library.

Included is a discussion and some testing for how to set up the hardware, including the need to use a termination resistor on the data pin.

Sketch and Schematic: https://github.com/GadgetReboot/Ardui...

A simple sketch shows how to control the RGB values on individual pixels, how to animate a few LEDs, and how to control some LEDs using a potentiometer.

LED color is set using separate RGB values, Hue Saturation Value/Brightness values, and web/html color names.

Any other LED animations are from the Fast LED demo reel sketch that comes with the fast LED library. https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/tr...
