Re: LED Lights for the Robot (what do you use??!?!)

We are using two types of LED strips on our robot this year: 1. Common Anode RGB strips (same color for the entire strip) and 2. individually addressable LED strips based on the WS2811 LEDs. I'm not sure the cRio could handle the individually addressable ones so we're offloading the code to drive both strip types onto two arduino nanos. They'll get their control information from the cRio in the form of either a digital I/O or a PWM.
